Steve Timm, AKA "Dogzapper" on this site, wrote an article on the 260AI in Varmint Hunter magazine in 2001. I have a photocopy of the article, but I don't know what issue it appeared in.

Steve provided data for 9 loads and if you want that data, I can PM it to you. A lot has changed in the reloading world since 2001, but it would be a place to start.

Mine has a 22 inch barrel and I wouldn’t want it any longer, I can give you some data using 2350 and 4831 if you are interested

The 260 AI is not in Quickload, so I can't help you there.

Just use 260 and adjust powder capacity accordingly
This works very true for my gun
