Finally found one. These seem to be scarce as hens teeth. Can't wait to see how it shoots. Any recommendations on favorite powders for the 260 with 125 120 or 140 grain bullets?

I've been running R-15 with 120's, but think '19 would probably be best. If you're still bullet shopping, 108 Lapua's shoot like a mofo..
And I've got a few sets of modified Talley lows coming if you need rings.

Mine shoots about anything well enough to hunt with. Mine started off with wood but now wears a modified Lite plastic stock (off my other Tikka). I've loaded several bullets, but it likes 130 grain Sierra GKs and 125 Nosler partitions pretty good. H4831 and Varget work well and RL19 is good. Shot these groups with H4831 and 125 Nosler Partitions. Pretty much one hole. ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/BeNBadRacing/098_zps8383d4ac.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/BeNBadRacing/2605_zps969367a4.png)

Dealer I got mine from had been looking for one for 2 years. Kept one for himself and I got the other. Impulse buy, but I figured I better get it while I had the chance.

Just bought a 100 lapua brass for $83 before shipping online. Can't wait to get started reloading for it.

I love Ramshot Hunter at 45 grains with the 120 grain Barnes TTSX.
Last year, I hit a cow elk in the middle of her chest at 220 yards,and all four legs went out from under her, she was down for the count. Fed 210M primers.

I know of a left hand T3 Hunter in 260...one lefty in 7-08 too.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
