Barnes Triple Shock

So Im after some hardcore, blow em up, throught, between and around em type bullet for my .260...


Im not totally convinced Ill use the think on elk, but every now and then the opportunity presents itself and Im confident that the cartridge will put one of them skinny bullets through an elk.

I want a really nice strong bullet for that occasion, as Im not totally convinced those Nosler Ballistic Tips hold together that well on deer (probably work well, just not exceptional) and elk would be even more dissapointing.

Im no fan of paying 1 buck a bullet for Speer Trophy Bear Claws, and the 130 grain solid copper Barnes seems like a suitable alternative. 130 grains is a wee light Ill admit, but I should run into core seperations (narf, it dont got one) and it should hold together to punch clean thought it. I THINK.


Anyone have some hard facts/ first hand talk about the bullet? I may but a box here pretty soon to see if they shoot ok in my gun first.
