A-tip loads for 260 Remington?

[chromatica]

Has anyone developed an effective load for the Hornady A-tip 135 for 260 Remington?

44gr H4831 has been a known accurate load for 130-140gr bullets in the 260 for a long time, its normally where I start with any new bullet in that weight.

136 Lapua scenar 46.5 grs H4831 in Lapua case, LR primer. Not that fastest but very accurate. Also, Varget 38gr-39gr. works as well.

Was wondering if anybody had tried any load development for the 135 Gr. A-tip in 260 A I ?

I have worked up loads for my 260 Rem target rifle using A-tip 135s. I started with 44.3 grains of H4831sc. When I switched to ADG brass, they recommended that I reduce the charge by 1 grain. I started a ladder test at 43.0 grains and found a node at 43.4 - both for accuracy and velocity spread. I shot a group at 100 yards where all the holes were touching and my SD was 9.<something>.

I agree. They are at a stupid price point for a mass produced bullet. They can keep the stupid polishing cloth. Give me a break!
