Terminal behaviour of the conventional varmint hollow point design

This is a designed to come apart quickly on small game at speed, which keeps ricochet risk low and puts energy into the target rather than through it.

The number on the box tells you mass, not behaviour. Jacket design, alloy and geometry are what determine the wound channel.

.260 Remington in practice

Same bore and bullet options as 6.5 Creedmoor on a .308 parent case, with a small edge in case capacity.

Muzzle velocity for .260 Remington typically runs 2,700 to 2,950 fps, from a short action bolt platform with a 1:8 twist. Barrel length, lot and temperature all move that figure, so verify it in your own rifle rather than relying on the box.

Why this grain weight

At 100 grain this is on the lighter side for .260 Remington. Lighter bullets leave the muzzle faster and shoot flatter, which helps on smaller targets and at distance, but they bleed velocity sooner and depend more on impact speed to do their job.

Cost per round

20 rounds at $39.99 works out at $2.000 per round. A box this size suits load development, hunting stock and defensive carry rather than high volume practice.

Ordering and compliance

Shipping rules for ammunition vary by state and sometimes by city. Some destinations require a licence, an approved recipient, or refuse delivery entirely. Check before you order rather than after. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

Who should buy this

The question is not whether this is a good load, it is whether it is the right one for you. This suits small game and pest control where rapid energy transfer matters and over-penetration is a hazard. It is the wrong choice for large game.

What your barrel does to these numbers

The same load behaves differently across barrel lengths. If you run a short barrel, verify performance rather than assuming it carries over. For .260 Remington specifically, expect 2,700 to 2,950 fps as the published band and treat your own chronograph as the authority.

Storing ammunition

Store it dry and cool, rotate oldest stock first, and check case necks for corrosion on anything that has sat a long time.

Choosing .260 Remington over something else

Ballistically it sits within a hair of 6.5 Creedmoor using the same bullets. The practical difference is that Creedmoor brass and factory ammunition are far easier to find.

None of that makes one cartridge better in the abstract. It makes them better at different jobs, and the job is yours to define.

Stock and handling

Every load leaving here is factory ammunition from the manufacturer, not repackaged or remanufactured stock. Lots are stored indoors at stable temperature and packed so bullet tips are not knocking against each other in transit.

A word if you are stocking up: test before you commit. Buying a case of a load your rifle dislikes is an expensive way to learn about harmonics.

Frequently asked questions

What rifle does .260 Remington run in?

.260 Remington is normally chambered in a short action bolt platform with a 1:8 twist. Same bore and bullet options as 6.5 Creedmoor on a .308 parent case, with a small edge in case capacity.

What velocity should I expect from .260 Remington?

Typically 2,700 to 2,950 fps. Barrel length, temperature and lot all shift it, so chronograph your own rifle.

Is the conventional varmint hollow point projectile suitable for what I am shooting?

It is a designed to come apart quickly on small game at speed, which keeps ricochet risk low and puts energy into the target rather than through it. Match that against your intended use before buying.

Why choose 100 grain?

Weight sets the trade between velocity and momentum. 100 grain is one point on that curve; the right pick depends on your barrel, your distance and your target rather than on the number itself.

What is in the pack?

20 rounds at $39.99, which is $2.000 per round.

Do you actually have this in stock?

Yes, this is held stock rather than drop shipped, and the listing comes down when it sells out.

Can you ship this to my state?

In most cases yes, though several states and cities restrict ammunition shipments or require a licence. Our shipping page lists current restrictions.

Can I reload this brass?

Most of our loaded ammunition uses reloadable boxer primed brass. Check the individual listing if you intend to reload, since some training and steel cased lines are not reloadable.

Do you offer bulk pricing?

Larger pack sizes carry a lower cost per round, which is listed on each product page so you can compare directly rather than doing the arithmetic yourself.

How is this stored before it ships?

Indoors at stable temperature, rotated oldest first, and packed so cartridges do not move in transit.
