260 Remington loads for 130gr bullets

[356tsw]

what is your favorite load for 260 Remington with 130 gr bullets.

 

[30378]

130gr Nosler Accub with 41.5gr IMR-4350, Rem neck sized brass, Fed 210M primers with 2.910" OAL at 2770 FPS.

I have a 22” barrel using the sierra game changer. H4350 is good for 2800. RL 16 is better and can get me 2850. RL 17 gives me 2900. Peterson or Lapua brass. Fed 210M is great but they all work fine.

If you have a 24”+ barrel, H4831 will give you good velocity and incredibly good accuracy.

H4350, 130gr Berger HP. Lapua brass, and REM 9 1/2M primers.

RL 19 gave me very good results in my daughters 260, but there is the RL powder problem. I'd like to see what everyone else is using aside from RL powders. There are some good alternatives, I'm sure.

 

[ATFIV]

Mild load of Varget 36.5-37 grains, shoots very well under a 130 OTM

Do a work-up with N-160. I'll bet you find something that suits you, whether it's a hunting load or a target load.
