    I used it in a Creedmoor, trouble was getting enough in the case so it might be an OK candidate for 260

    I’ve seen some load data on RL22 in some on line manuals.

    Cheers

    Yea a little bit online but not alot really. Might give it a go, if I can get 2750 fps from my 20 inch barrel I'd be happy. It was a super accurate powder in both my rem mag and 280ai hence the desire to give it a go.

    Previous owner had a load of 44.8 grains superformance, 210 primer and 143 eldx giving 2750fps and he gave me a bunch with the rifle but I haven't found them to be super consistent grouping around an inch.. so hoping to try tighten that up a little. I have got reloader 23, 26 and superformance here to play with and 143 eldx or 135 classic hunters to use.

    I've always used either RL 26 or Hodgdon superproformance in my .260 and a number of others I load for.
    They both work well in all the Tikka or Sako rifles I've tried it in, using 143 eldx
