Well, I finally got that .260 Rem. I purchased from elkjaeger to the range today. I didn't change anything with bedding before shooting it, because that would be not smart. My first group with 43 gr. of H380 and 130 gr. Nosler Accubond went into about 1 1/2" at 100 yds. It was the first time I've ever bore-sighted a rifle and had it dead-on at 100 yds. The next group, 43.5 gr. H380 and 130 AB went into 1", and 44 gr. put 4 shots into .678" at 100 yds. 44 gr. of IMR 4350 produced .75" at 100 yds. All of the Accubond loads shot 1 1/2" or better. The 140 gr. Partitions were a different story, I've always had good accuracy with them in .243 Win. and .30-06, but the best group I saw went into about 2" at 100 yds. I also had a first experience of a completely blown primer with 44.5 gr. of IMR 4350 and a 140 gr. Nosler Partition. I fired and an exceptional "boom" rang out. I ejected the case with no primer and extractor marks. Needless to say, the 4 rounds loaded with 45 gr. of IMR 4350 and the 140 gr. PT went home with me and will be dis-assembled. All in all, a good day at the range, especially since I found a bunch of .223, .357 mag, and .30-06 range brass in the garbage cans. It's amazing what non-reloaders throw away!
