Also Hodgdon superproformance is a good powder for the .260.

No I just settled for 2710 with 42.3 grains of 2209 for the 147g still shoots flatter and Less wind affected than the 130 grain eldm at 1300 + yards .
as far as I'm concerned the case really needs improving and you need about 0.280" free bore and it's got to be built on a long action like my first 260 .

Agree about being on a long action mine have all been on a Tikka action and did do an improved version but there was not a lot of gain for the extra effort involved.

300m is a long shot for me which I why I usually run Partitions bor 130gr ttsx,most shots under 100m,so these lrab projectiles are probably being wasted but a dead deer is always a good outcome
