129sst does 2606 and 2637 with same powder charges. Best group 0.7moa but didn't write down what powder charge.

At this stage I'm going with the 120BT and 143 ELD-X, but will check out how the 140 Gamekings go.

2209 generally gives very good accuracy in a 260, but its as slow as a wet week. If you can live with dialing a bit more elevation and reducing your terminal range then its a good powder.
