.260 Remington 18" Barrel w/ Barnes 120 grain Bullet need a Load

[gunner69skmc]

Put a DPMS .260 Upper on my DPMS .308 AR, plan on using 120 gr Barnes TTSX BT Bullets for deer with it. I see that the .260 likes 4350 quite a lot. I have some XMR4350 that has yet to be opened. Anybody have an AR in .260 Remington and have any "Pet Loads" they can suggest?

I shoot the Barnes TTSX/TSX bullets in several other calibers and have yet to have it fail. They usually fall where they stand. Thanks for the help.

My .260 shot real well with Varget. It is fast enough that it might give you pretty good velocity in that short barrel, too. I would be concerned shooting the Barnes unless you can get the velocity up pretty good in that barrel, or shoot fairly close. Standard bullets work real well at the .260 velocities. My go-to is a 129 Hornady IL. It hammers deer.
