    My 260AI Load Development Begins

    With the rifle built and in hand I need to develop a load. Starting by fireforming but also a chance to try some different projectiles from Sirocco 130gn to LRABs at 142gn.

    Using 0.5gn off max recommended for 260 with RE17.

    I don't have a COL gauge so will do best with cleaning rod method.

    Will update as I progress.
