That for his ultra, he’s asking for advice in 6.5 and 300wsm.

Interesting. I've killed 14 or 15 bulls with that bullet in a .300 RUM. RL-25 at 3200 fps. Yardages from 42 to 586. Flawless. Messing with the Hammer Hunters now. mtmuleyI used to shoot the 200 gr accubonds, I shot my bull with it this year at 448 the bullet never made it through the shoulder, that's why I switched, that used to be my favorite load 9t.5 grains of retumbo at 3250
I've never had excessive meat damage using bergers. Especially around 2800 fps. Missed the fact you are wanting to use a 260. I could not seat them close enough in a 260 to hit lands and stay in the box. That would change things for me. Either perhaps a 135 hybrid if the nose profile works better than the 140 vld or go to a 140 accubond.
My 260 is becoming a 6.5 creedmoor due to the throat and magazine issue.
130 AR hybrids are another good one for your situation. I shoot them in a x47 that has too much freebore for VLDs. 135 CH shoot well in my SAUM.
If I were the OP I’d shoot some 230 target hybrids in that RUM.
