Guys,, I've used the slower powders... and they work just fine in a 260, which shows what a versatile cartridge it can be..

I just don't see the extra powder volume for the slight increase in velocities...I really think 4350 and slower comes alive when you move to the 6.5/05 or the various 6.5 mm magnums etc...

Hope it doesn't come across that I think the guys who use them are wrong.. I am just presenting a different opinion that works pretty well also...

both ends offer a lot of flexibility to a great cartridge...
