Thread: .260 Loads

leathel,

Yup, you are right there- if you have the psi behind the projectile, it will move. When I do the trials again I'll post results here.

I'm hoping that the firing pin-bolt interface is not the culprit. I should also purchase a set of .260 headspace gauges.

Cheers,

Linz

I got the 260 t3 but not having to much joy yet.
lap brass 140 a max or 143 eld x with choice 09 2213sc and 2217 fed 210 primers.
any ideas?

140 amax and 2209, start at about 43gr and work your way up

Post your groups and load data?

I will be if I can get the Bastard going as good as my 6.5!

Not to hijack the thread, but I am shooting 140 Amax with 2209 in a gas 6.5 creedmoor and was just reading about the different powder options here, I am getting quite slow speeds and pressure at 42.5 does anybody know if it is ok for me to use v1000 or h1000 or anything else that might get me better speeds, I am only getting 2640 out of a 24" tube.



Sorry @Normie I can move this and start another thread if you like.

I got talking to 2 different target shooters at last years Sika show, they both shot 260 rem, they both told me that 210's were too hot for the 260 rem, and to use cci 200's or br2's.

Ive just tested cci 200's back to back with 210's that i had previously used. The 200's shot far tighter groups. Im sold. H414 powder.

interesting.
I have some winchester wlr primers so where are they on the hot scale?

I was told something sort of similar. I used to use federal primers and shot acceptable groups.

I gave the CCI a go on advice and I have shot some ridiculous groups changing nothing but the primer.

I don't know why or how a primer can be too hot for the .260 but the results speak for themselves.
Its worth a crack Andy😆

I will have to dig into the bowels of the reloading cabinets and see what's floating around in the bottom!

Interesting I too had slow but accurate 260 loads using 2209. Am now up at 45.5 of 2209 and have them over 2750 with tight groups- 140 amax.
