Terminal behaviour of the solid copper fragmenting design

This is a sheds petals into separate wound paths on impact while the base continues forward, giving multiple channels plus penetration from a single projectile.

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. Published figures are a starting point, not a specification; chronograph your own rifle before you trust a number.

Bullet weight and what it costs you

At 95 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.

Pack size

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.

Shipping and legal notes

Ammunition ships within the United States subject to state and municipal restriction. Some jurisdictions require licensing or prohibit delivery outright, and buyers must meet age and eligibility requirements where they live. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

Is this the right load for you

Before buying, be honest about the use case. This suits hunters and defensive shooters who want rapid energy transfer and multiple wound paths rather than a single clean channel.

Barrel length and velocity

Velocity scales with barrel length, and the effect is largest on lighter, faster bullets. Check what your own barrel actually delivers. For .260 Remington specifically, expect 2,700 to 2,950 fps as the published band and treat your own chronograph as the authority.

Keeping it serviceable

Storage is simple: stable temperature, low humidity, original packaging where possible. Attics and car boots are the two places that quietly ruin ammunition.

.260 Remington against the alternatives

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.

Cartridge arguments usually come down to people optimising for different things without saying so. Decide what you are optimising for first.

What we ship

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.

If this is your first purchase in this calibre, buy one box before you buy ten. Rifles are individual, and a load that groups beautifully in one barrel can string in another for no obvious reason.

Frequently asked questions

What platform suits .260 Remington?

A short action bolt with a 1:8 twist is the usual setup. Same bore and bullet options as 6.5 Creedmoor on a .308 parent case, with a small edge in case capacity.

How fast does .260 Remington run?

Is the solid copper fragmenting projectile suitable for what I am shooting?

It is a sheds petals into separate wound paths on impact while the base continues forward, giving multiple channels plus penetration from a single projectile. Match that against your intended use before buying.

Why choose 95 grain?

Weight sets the trade between velocity and momentum. 95 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.

What are the delivery restrictions?

They vary by state and sometimes by city, ranging from licensing requirements to outright prohibition. See the shipping page.

How should I compare loads?

Compare cost per round rather than box price, and compare projectile construction rather than grain weight. Those two habits will steer you right more often than brand loyalty.

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.

Is this factory ammunition or reloaded?

Factory loaded ammunition from the manufacturer. We do not stock remanufactured or hand loaded product.
