    260 AI loads ?



    Does anyone load for a 260 AI ? What are loading in it, I have just started loading for one and am using 140 gr Nosler Custom Comp. and 140 gr Sie. match HPBT with RL-22. I have so far tried 2 loads 46.6 and 47 grs. Chrono'ed it at 2935 to 2989 .

    Thank You,
    Gordon

    Twarren I have been using 140 Nosler Custom Comp. and 140 Sie. match and Hornady A-max because I have them left over from a former 6.5-284. I also have about 10 Lbs of RL-22 & 8 Lbs of IMR 4831 so I hated to get another powder. I guess if I have to I will. With those 2 powders and the bullets I have been getting about 2932 - 2989 fps. and no pressure signs at 47 t0 47.5 gr. I also thought that by going to a little lighter bullet it would give me a little less recoil. I haven.t done too much shooting with this barrel yet as it only has about 50 rounds through it, but the 2 other Shaw barrels I have are great. A 243 24inch Varmit will put 5 rounds into .093 C to C at 100 yds. the best I have gotten yet.
