Shit, I didnt realize he wasnt talking about the 6mm but instead the 6.5, good catch where I didnt read so well.
I would go for a 130-140 grain bullet
I used the 107's in my 260 for low recoil 100Y practice for position rounds. I shot 130 Berger Hybrids and 140 Berger Hybrids in F-Class med and long range respectively

Factory AI 260 barrel? If yes, those tend to have a pretty generous freebore dimension. 140 Berger VLD or 130 Berger AR hybrid would be my first choice(s), 142 SMK / 130 TMK / 139 Scenar / 130 -140 - 143 ELD-M as second choice(s).
Personally I'd not mess with 107 or 123 given the overall fit to chamber.
What distances are you primarily going to be shooting to with the 260?
140 Berger VLD, hands down.
Pushing 260 that far, go heavy and be happy.
To mile if you can, I’ve had customers take their 260 w/140 Berger VLDs to a mile with ammo I’ve optimized load to their chamber.
Nominally, what distance(s) will you be shooting?
300 primarily?
600?
1k?
Everything at 1 Mile?
If goal is to go long with the 260, go heavy as it offers you best wind drift, best LR performance. Personally, I’d not go below a 130 AR Hybrid / 130 TMK / 130 ELD-M if goal is 1k or farther on regular basis.
