.260 Hybrid 100V Ladder Results

As the title suggests I did a ladder test recently with my 22" .260 and below are the results.

Load details:
OAL 2.865" (mag length)
140gr A-Max
.260 Lapua Brass
CCI BR Primer
Hodgdon Hybrid 100V Powder

41gr - 2556
41.5gr - 2583
42gr - 2632
42.5gr - 2704
43gr - 2693 (1st shot after letting barrel cool for a little while)
43.5gr - 2744
44gr - 2797
44.5 - 2879 (Definitely load too hot. Major extractor mark and tight bolt lift)

42.5 -43.5gr clustered on the target at just over an inch ish 44gr threw higher and right about half inch. I will get a tub of this as it's showing promise for a lot more speed over my AR2209 load. I will do a full work up and post results once done. 2750 - 2800fps would be really good if I can get the accuracy I know this rifle is capable of too.

Rifle is Howa action with MAB barrel 22".

Huge velocity spike. Might have been a combination of warm barrel too.

Massive spikes are the norm for double base powders I find.

Nope. Might try some RL17 though.

Most of the people that i know that have tried R17 say you get good velocity (better than 2209 anyway) but it is not as consistent. Still worth a try though i would think.

I have stuck with 2209 in my 260. Performance has been great, and i have never had an issue with supply. Can't see me changing for a while given i have 4kg or so of it here.
