I have loaded for the .260 with 140 VLD Hybrids and H-4350
42.0gr. up to 43.8gr. in .3 increments
Hogdon is showing a max charge for:
140 Nosler Partition 42.0 gr.
142 SMK 44.5 gr.
My instinct tells me to go with the higher charge for the 142 SMK given the outside structure and demensions of the 140 VLD.
Me thinks I'll be OK up to 43.8 gr and still conserving barrel life.
What do you you all think?
