Fine shooting by your son! That's quite the poke.

260 is a fine fine LR round. In some ways superior to 6.5 cm

Yes, a standard .260 Rem.
Lapua Brass (Never fired but run through a resizer and case length checked)
CCI BR2 primers
41.8 grains of H4350

What bullet? I'm still playing with mine, and it's about to get some new optics!

I thought this was interesting. This was the 100 yard 260 Rem group shot the same day we shot the steel. It’s an okay group but it goes to show you don’t necessarily need a great shooting 100 yard rifle to hit targets at distance. It certainly doesn’t hurt but it’s not required.
