what speeds are you getting? Tight chamber will get the same speed with less powder :)Quote:

Only thing I got out of it was the recoil & the fired cases...which were telling me 43gn might be too much.
Time to load the series again.

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,

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 upQuote:

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.Quote:

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

Smartass @andyanimal31 the thing just shoots, that was 112m, just slow that's all.

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 [emoji106] 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.
what rifle and brass and primers are you using and can ya define tight groups please?Quote:

Sako 85. 20". Lapua brass, federal 215 and 140 Amax.
12-15mm. Has fired 5shots into 11mm before. . . . All precautions taken. Obviously.
As a side note and of some interest was the successful use of Superformance Powder in the .260Rem. Others were hitting pressure early with 2209 while velocity were too low.

I'm about to run some more loads for the 260 this weekend using the ELD-X and Superformance. Previously VLD's gave good results.
I use the same powder Superformance with the ELD-X in my .260AI lower pressure than 2209 and very low SD and ES
I got shit results with CCI 200s and good results with 210M
Ive got a finnlight 260, running 210s 129sst and 46gr 2209, haven't been really happy with it though. Good tip about the primers, will give it a go.

Barrel is 22" and they are doing 2780fps you might get higher in a standard turn bolt

Running a suppressed Rem Model7 in 260. 129gn LRAB with 43.5gn of 2209 and CCI250 (large mag) and doing 2780fps. Happy enough with this and they shoots groups tight enough to break clay targets at 600 yards (MOD).
Suspect I could make it go faster, but not sure there is actually a need to. All the animals I've shot at are now dead and in the freezer or septic tank now :)
Oh, using the mag primers because that's what I had in the cupboard.
Hi Guys just started reloading for my 260 rem, dose any one know what the Max gn would be for running the new Eld x 143gr bullet? with Ar 2209
Just use starting data for 140,s. You will be fine... Have a look at the load data Hodgdon powder website, if you dont already know AR 2209 and H4350 are the same powders, differently branded, so you can use equivalent H4350 data for your 2209...
Only tried 120gn pro hunters, new Lapua brass cci200 primers and 41gr of 2208.
Zero load dev, I get 1" @100m but pressure signs also. Might back off to 40.2 and try again. Haven't chronyed the load yet but I suspect a very tight chamber
Want a box of Fed 210s to try?Quote:

I'd use a 120gn or 123gn Amax and try to work up to 47gn. You might get as high as 2740fts with those
*Lapua scenar 123gn would be right up there too if you can get them.
I played around with Quickload today and got the high pressure I've been experiencing once I entered the corrected seating depth on the computer. I've backed off to 40gn 2208. Weather looks good tomorrow so might nip to the range before work
I don't like compressing loads myself so you might be a little tight trying to put 47 grains in. But those are the optimum components as far as I can tell
*Scenar and ADI2213 or 4831sc if you cant find any.
Witch way did the pressure change compared to the length of the cartridge?Quote:

I got the 123gr amaxs to 3k using a hefty load of H414 in my 20" barrel model 7 260 rem, grouped well too. Until i discovered my 123's sorted into two different groups (length of ogive to base) lost confidence in them after that.Quote:
