Thread: 260 Rem compressed load

Predicted pressured with a C.O.L of 2.800" is 53,498psi with 104% case fill and a C.O.L of 2,700 gave 57,842psi with 107% case fill ,. Max allowed pressure is 60,191 psi for the 260 .Predicted velocities are 2800 fps and 2849 fps using a 24" barrel .
Remember , these figures are only a computer simulation and cannot replace proper load development .
Given the simulation and lack of pressure indicators all would indicate a safe load .

Hope this has been of some help .

That's brilliant thanks,coal is 2.750" and 22" barrel so somewhere between those figures which is what I put into the ballistics calculator for sighting in,my M7 seems to like them with two holes touching then the third always about 12-15mm away
