Thread: Who's running a 260 with 130 vld

Who's using them in 260 and what do you reckon?
Also any load data for 130 vld in 260 (mod 7 even better) with ADI 2209 would be cool, PM sweet if its sensitive. I have 143 eldx but wanting to try the vld.

Yeah Im using 130 vld hunting in my sako 85.

43.0grs H4350/2209 works fine in my rifle with bullets seated out(just checked hodgdon load data and I see they list 42.7 as maximum),. Seem to recall not so long ago they were listing 44.0grs as maximum.

If you want load data for superformance powder check out barnes bullets load data. They have data for 120-140gr bullets in 260rem....

If you have a chance, try the new hornady 130 eld m, in my creedmoor they are as accurate as Berger 130 vld and a lot cheaper.

Be very cautious substituting barnes data for jacketed bullets.

They look pretty good, cheers

I couldn't get the 130 vlds to shoot in my 260R Model 7

From what I've read 43gr 2209 is a good place to start @Gibo.

Yeah cheers mate, 7mmSaum has advised similar Will see where I get to, will try the 143s first as I have them here, this is all dependant on a new rifle turning up in the safe anyway

Yes Gibo, we were reading between the lines A Mod 7 by the looks

i for see a 260 shoot off at the toby shoot

The Berger 135gn Classic hunter could be worth a look too.

Foot, ass, guts, you know... the kill zone.
