    How much powder were in those laods?

    My 260 barely breaks 2700fps with 140gr Amaxs, 43.5gr of 2209 and a 24" barrel.

    Yeah I'm not telling you how much powder is in the load, work up for what's safe in your own rifle. Suffice to say - loose chamber (brass expands a lot), long throat, seated out long, no sticky bolt or head stamping.


    I have been using the 143gr ELD-X all year, shot 4 deer and a couple of bull tahr with them, not impressed with terminal ballistics besides which they cost more, have a lower BC.
