    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

    Witch way did the pressure change compared to the length of the cartridge?
    Longer less pressure or opposite?

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    It has a short throat so the further in the pill is seated the higher my pressure went.

    As a trade off my fps went up for less powder

    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.

    Will be testing some 143 eldx's in my 260 this weekend, 2209 powder, I'm stopping at 41.2gns as I suspect anything over that will be a tad hot

    2.9 or something for me. Long throat on the Sako. Goes hard. Don't use that load in your rifle without working up cos it's well over max

    Still not sure why there is such a fascination with the 260 at the moment. A lot of effort to get less than 270 performance.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Not a lot of 270s go well in a short action.
    Blaser and Feather or Shoot like this.
