That's a fantastic result!!! Well done on the shooting too - that level of precision is not easy

It's great to see someone had success with this after I tried it and found my rifle didn't think it was magic at all....

What cases and primers did you use?

I've used the same Eld-X in Lapua cases with CCI450s and Reloder 16 and got great accuracy. Slightly faster grain for grain than AR2209 but only just.

I had high hopes for the Re26, but if the rifle says no then there's not much you can do about it!

Thanks, like I said it may have been a fluke so time will tell, I was going to try RL16 or RL26 but managed to get some 26 local so gave it a whirl.
I was mainly trying to reduce pressure and it did , I'm loading Laupa brass and federal primer with the EKDX I also want to try 142 LRAB as well.

Just grabbed a tikka 260

Cartridge not much smaller than a .308..... just looked at the numbers...not bad at all

I used to use Hodgdon superprofrmance in my .260 which works great in that Cal so tried it in my Creedmoore. But not as accurate as the .260 so tried RL 26 which seemed to be a good powder for the heavier weight bullets.
