.260 120 - 130 loads

[colin jalland]

any good loads for 120 - 130 gr .260 with 24" barrel rem action tactical rifle ?

 

[gunnery]

I used 120grn spritzers in mine 26" barrel Lapua brass Fed large match primers and 47grns of vit 550 very good and accurate load on deer use caution as you know what is good in one rifle etc

[DaveT]

My 260 loads are as follows.....usual caveats about 'good in my gun' etc

 

29" 1:8 barrel, 123g scenars and 42.0g of n550 gives me about 2950FPS....no pressures but Gunnerys 47g of same powder seems like a lot!

 

26" 1:8 barrel using 130g Accubond gives me good accuracy with 44.5g of N560

 

Same barrel using H4831 at 47g shoots 129g hornady SSTs to same POI as Accubond.....drops deer well too!

 

I think both of the latter are going at about 2800 but have yet to Chrono...very happy with accuracy.

 

I tend to load a good bit longer tham Cip/Saami.

My apologies....my accubond load is 45.5 and not 44.5
