Not quite what you are after, but I'm using 130gr Nosler AB over 44.5gr of H4350 and it works for me...

Again, not exactly what you're looking for, but close.
Rem CDLSF .260 24"
45.0 gr RL17
130gr Abond
3063 FPS
I know it's fast, but no indication of pressure in my rifle. Of course the usual disclaimer...reduce load and work up in your rifle.

I've been meaning to pick up some RL 17 for a bit now...
I really need to. Hope I can find some at the gun show tomorrow...

I load 44 grains of IMR 4350 with 129s, also use the same load with Nosler 140 grain partitions...

Hondo64d told me 47.8 of h4831 under the 129 Interlock, and he was right.

I shot a few this afternoon with 47.0 grains of H4831 SC and it shows a lot of promise.

All are appreciated.
And Happy New Year., Hope this year is prosperous for all on the fire.

Hondo64D told me 47.8 of h4831 under the 129 Interlock, and he was right. Yep, still works good. Gives me about 2860 or so from my Low Wall, and terrific accuracy. .2gr less behind the 130gr Accubond works well too. John

Been loading the Hornady book max 49.9gr H4831 with the 129 Interlock in son's stainless 20" Mod 7. Don't know the velocity but it shoots 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" or so and kills deer well.

H100V and the 129 SST @ 2900+ has been a great load for me..

My Hornady 129 gr load is 47.9 gr RL 19 over a Fed 210M primer. Consistently prints ~1".
As always, my load may/may not be too hot for other rifles...start lower and work up!

Dober Right around 2830. Not near as fast as some of these guys are pushing it, but the deer don't know the difference...

Bringing this one up from the past. After bedding the action on my .260 Mountain Rifle I loaded up 3 rounds with 47.8grs H4831 + 129 Hornady Interlock. Granted it's only 1 3 shot group but it seems to do pretty good. The one's with red lines through them were with the wrong seating depth. Center to center is .702" ![[Linked Image]](http://i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss29/Tom_Foolery_74/P1010788.jpg)
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Not the 129 Hornady, but I found my best load with 130 VLD's at 43.5 grains H4350 in Lapua brass with a CCI BR-2. 2820 FPS out of a 22" barrel.
