Thread: Short .260

the nick Harvey's data is with a 20 inch tube well in the couple of books I have anyway I know that's not the best to believe speeds from manuals how ever they do give you some idea

my geuess is about the same as 47 yes 47 is a smaller case than 260 however 47 is rated for higher pressure so im thinking it ill near even out give or take be interesting to hear results mate

That was very mean, really. Now the whole forum is in excited anticipation about what this shiny thing is. It will be stressful for them. Not everyone is on meds like me you know.

There was a shiny thing hanging around Jaffa land last night!

Sorry Gimp, no 140 grain data. Here's some actual .260 Rem data though.

130 grain projectile, 50 grains AR2213sc: 2800 fps in 22" tube, 2500 fps in 16" tube (same rifle)
120 grain projectile, 47.5 grains H414: 3000 fps in 22" tube, 2800 fps in 16" tube

I expect the heavier bullet would be faster with quicker powder in the short barrel.

I was reading your old thread full of .260 data on FNH the other day, didn't have much luck with h4350/2209? Seems to be favoured by most for .260, with 140gr mainly though. Decent speeds with a 16", hmm

E yeah 2213sc is probably a bit slow for a 16

No 140gr data, but i am currently playing with 130gr VLD's, doing 2,900fps with H414 from a 20" model 7 (260 Rem). The numbers look bloody good on the 130 VLD at 2,850+ fps

Have you bagged any animals with them yet?

Okay, but it won't be cheap.

No, only done one ladder test with them so far. Shot the two whitetail a couple of weeks ago with the 260 but using a 100gr NBT doing 3,250, neither of them liked it much.
