I’m working up load for my 260 Rayhill rocket and getting close to having it worked out. It shot 10 rounds with 10 different powder charges with a velocity spread of 2710-2867fps alittle less than 1”. I have two 4 shot groups loaded but haven’t had time to shoot yet. Scared to play to much as I can’t find more to load.
Does anyone have or no where I can purchase more bullets?
Any help with this would’ve appreciated.
Is this that 18 lb beast you and the kids were shooting in 2015?
Yes it is. Kevin Rayhill built it for me on a savage long action.
It is basically a 260 ackley with a little different shoulder angle that Kevin uses.
I ended up finding some more bullets and settled on a load at 2880fps.
We have shot three deer so far with it from 240 to 405 yards. I can’t say for sure how it will do past that on game but it has performed flawless to 405. Daughter shot a mature buck at 405 and it opened and exited perfectly through one shoulder on a slightly quartering shot.
OK, I'll bite....
What the heck is a .260 Rayhill Rocket? Got a pic to share...?
I don’t know how to post pictures on here anymore but if you look at the deer hunting forum there is a picture of it with daughters buck kill
