Developing 260 load

[stomp442]

With 4831sc I have found really good nodes around the 46 grain mark. Work up to that of course but I have a couple .260s that shoot that load really well.

Thanks. I have been using 4831sc and varget but have stayed well below max looking for the seating depth. Its interesting sometimes the best accuracy is close or at max and other times people say they are better at a modest load. I think though it seems most are saying somewhere near max. At moderate loads I could see little difference in H4831sc and varget but that may be because I have not identified the oal for the cartridge, bullet and gun but I am getting closer. I use lapua brass, cci br primers, weight the charges and check for run out. I am thinking the right combo of seating depth, primer and powder will provide the result along with a clean barrel. I have only recently learned out to properly clean a barrel! I sure wish I could afford a borescope but that's out of the question. When I move to the other calibers I will have to reinvest in quality dies as most of mine are bottom line rcbs, lyman and lee. I am using Forrester for the 260 now.
