    260AI


    Went to the range to check the .260AI using the 143grn ELDX and Hodgdon Superformance only fired 3 shot as I'm a tight arse but I'm more than happy.
    Superformance
    also works well in the 7mmsaum.

    Good stuff. I get good velocity with Superformance but not the accuracy I get with 2209

    What barrel length is that from? How much powder?

    It seemed that the go to powder for .260 was always ADI 2209, but seems this Super performance is proving to be the dogs bollocks!
