Thread: My 260AI Load Development Begins

Wow what an interesting morning. Finally stopped drizzling and more importantly blowing. First up shot the 260AI with the seating depth test. Started with the extremes - 2.803" and 2.840"...the latter went into 0.4". The rest didn't show much variation.

In between sighted my 7mm08 with suppressor on. 120gn 3018fps. Looks about 0.25"...and has shot that before too.

I use to not bother with seating depth. But got caught out shifting from a Remington Sendero to HS Precision SPL. Both shot the same load into 0.5" but then on a hunt the HSP left the bullet stuck as an unfired round was ejected. Lesson 1: Seating depth is impt. Lesson 2: cycle each hunting round before goinf on a hunt.

Well pleased now as really concentrated today as I have not been happy at all with my shooting lately.



And my 2 beauties.



I did full length size but noticed a couple of rounds tight to chamber? Length is fine. I notice when FL sizing there seems to be very little effort required compared to other cals....put this down to very close chamber and die??
