6.5 120gr TTSX are out!...

[bcsteve]

...in the US anyway. Hopefully they'll be out here soon. Before you start sending me pm's on where I got them, they're not mine, these are pictures I stole from an American site. I'll be shooting them in my .260 Rem next season.

Here's the 120gr TTSX between at 120gr TSX and a 130gr TSX.

now I might as well buy a Swede. Those look too good not to be shot. Long and lean.

I shot a small buck this fall with my .260 Rem and the 120gr TSX. Dropped in its track from a short 75-80 yard quartering toward shot. Big entry wound with chunkies coming out, big pool of blood, lung turned into red jello and the bullet exited from the off side ham with minimal meat damage. The TTSX should be same but with better, in theory, BC and expansion.

The cool and ###y factor alone is worth switching over though!

I keep thinking I need a .260...

I'll have to load some in my 6.5 x 55 Swede and in my M721 rebarrelled to 6.5 x 55 AI. They look like they should be great!! Regards, Eagleye.

Let me know if you find some up here, as far as I know, they're only available in the US right now. I was talking with Tod a while back he was hoping that his store would get some around April.

Federal will be loading two new loads in 2009 for the 260, a 120 gr Fusion bonded and a 130 gr TSX in the Vital Shock line

This is great! I'm thinking once they become readily available, they'll be my new favorite in my 6.5x55.

6.5

It would be nice if Winchester came out with a 130 gr XP3 in 260 Remington. Factory choices are limited.

 

[todbartell]

actually there is enough ammo out there now, we just need more rifles chambered in 260

So true. I don't understand why they will not put out an Remington SPS in .260 I think they would sell a few of those...
