140gr Hornady BTHP, 36.5 gr Varget, CCI LRBR Primers, and Hornady Brass

Its 100 yard 3 shot group, OnTarget shows it about 0.4 MOA. Thats not bad for a factory savage barrel.

The rifle is a 110, started out life as a 223 bvss. Now its a 260 remington. I have a Buckmaster 6-18x scope on it with Millett Angle Lock rings.

I have another barrel and a trigger coming in on the group buy. I cant wait to see what I can do with the new parts.....

The 260 and the 6.5 Swede are ballistic twins. You may want to consider either RL-22 or Ramshot Hunter as both of those powders work very well with the 6.5 calibers.

H4350 Is good in the Creedmoor, would probably be just as good in the .260. (and it meters great, even in my progressive press)

I tried both powders. I could not find a sweet spot with either one. Plus, Varget works in my AR 223.

More pics to follow.
