    The only way to find out what YOUR rifle likes & how fast it will go is to try it for yourself & see

    When I was messing around with 260s a few years ago I found H414, more speed and small groups cant quote any thing now but i remember H414 was superior to 2209 and 2213sc.
    I think w 760 is also close to H414.
    Cheers
    Stay off the ridgeline.
    The only good assumption is to assume that movement, shape, colour, sound, is always human. Follow this rule and identify your target.

    2209 gives me the best groups/velocity with 139-140gr bullets in my 20" Rem model 7, I tried W760 but couldn't get groups anywhere near as good (0.6-0.7with 2209) and pressures seemed to build earlier so wasn't getting the same velocity.
    Am now running a 139gr Scenar at 2780fps and shooting reasonable groups, will shoot around 2" at 412yards consistently, and they tried telling me the Model 7 1in9" tube wouldn't stabilise anything over 130!
