Thread: 260 Rem, AI & Imp

Don't think I've ever had an Accubond load shoot overly well. Good to see this trend continuing. Lol.

I agree the accubond wasn't great for me either, VLD's shoot better.
Keen to try the new Hornady ELD's when they eventually arrive.........

Same.

Nah... still wide for length not a column of powder; and without lousy projectile options.....

The 130gr Nosler AB shot superbly well in my .260. I thought they were a little hard and didn't leave too much of a wound track on deer but everything I shot with them died.

That will what I'll try this week. 130's AB.
Waiting for the new amax really.

They shot well in mine as well so did the Hornady 129SP

Any updates with newer powders and relative performance?
I have some Superformance, R19 and 2206h.

FFS Gibo, it's been that long I'd forgotten.. Bit like me and the RL26 I got about 2 months or so ago to try in my 260, one day.

School holidays aye! And warming up to summer in general! seems everyone wants to do all things everyday

I am not a 260, 55 or creedmore owner but they do interest me. I keep wondering when I read about load development for these cals if any of you have tried a 6.5 x 57 AI ? Just that wee bit more capacity without getting up to a 284 case. Although it does need a med length action. Would probably send you 140's out at 3000fps

still using 2209 in my t3x 260 just got some norma brass to test out. have been using fc 7mm08. 43.5 ar2209 was 12mm 43.7 was 16mm havn't run it over a crony yet.

Cheers, any group size like that is worth it.

Yep had one on a Turkish Mauser build, thumbhole stock and 28 inch barrel got it shortened to 24" then had to fire form cases a lot of fluffing around for no real world gain. @Tahr's 6.5x55 with 20" barrel was quicker. I was getting around 3000fps with 130 grain projectiles. A 6.5x284 would be a better build idea.
