Same as any other 260.
If your rifle doesn't shoot a 120gr Nosler BT @ 2.79" OAL with 39.3gr Varget, something is probably wrong. That load has worked very well in 3 different 260s barrels ranging 20, 22, & 26" and 1:8 and 1:9 twist rates. Its not blazing fast (2800fps from a 22" barrel, 2770 from a 20") but kills deer quite dead.
42-43.5gr H4350 with a 139-142gr bullet, adding 1 grain of powder for a 130 class and another 1 grain for a 120-123 class
37-38.5gr Varget for 139-142s, add one grain for 130s, add another 1 grain for 120-123s.
What twist do you haf?
What bullet did you pick?
newbie from gr, mi.
1 in 8 twist 140 gr berger or 130 gr berger
When I had the barrel built for my 260, I was going to shoot those "long, sexy", 140grn Bergers! I got some 140grn Rem PSP's for load development, and guess what- the Remington's group better than the Bergers at 300yds or less. And they do a number on white tails.
The barrel will tell you what pill it likes best!......Good Luck.......Jim
