N140 in 260REM

[cheng1962]

Hello All,
does anyone use N140 in 260 Rem? I have a 260 REM on order; it will be 28" barrel, 1-8 twist and I plan on using 139 Scenars.
I'd like to use this powder because I have about 4 kg of it.
Other powders available are AA2520 and AA2460.

any help is appreciated.

N140 doesn't seem a good choice at all. I use N160 on 123 gr and N165 on 140 gr bullets.

I use VV550, about 42 to 42.5. Thinking of getting some 150 for a try. It seem a lot of guys on the hide are using IMR4350. Going to load some of that tomorrow.

Yep! N150 - N160 work pretty well for those weight of bullets. IMR4350 works even better. But since the OP has lots of N140, give it a try and see how ur rifle responds.
