Reloder 17 will get you in that Neighborhood also.


With Reloader 17...... is the load development method also to 'pierce a Magnum primer... then back off 40-50fps'?

What barrel length are you running Eryhk?

I have to lean on 123s to see 3k.... and I'm not shy about mashing on the pedal and letting the brass decide. But alas, I'm running 20" and 23" barrels respectively. H4350/Varget/4831, RE17/19/22/25, IMR7828, Magpro.... none of them could get me over 2925 with 130 H-VLDs without seeing/feeling some stress in the brass.

Here's a couple more .260 loads that have run well recently....

23" Rock 1-8"....
Remington Brass
140 Amax
fed 210
48.0 IMR 7828 SSC
2800fps

20" Tikka CTR
123 Scenar (or Amax/MatchKing)
Lapua Brass
fed 210
40.5 IMR 4064
2875fps



You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
