    Maggie’s Whose Top Shot audition video is this?

    Re: Whose Top Shot audition video is this? Did he dry fire that bow when he came out of the water? Wish it would have blown up a limb and embedded it in his arm.

    260 Loads Only

    Re: 260 Loads Only 26" Shilen For some reason I can not load as hot as other .260 owners. I start seeing pressure signs (ejector marks) at about 41.0 grains of H4350 with BR2 primers. But, its not every round. I only see ejector marks on every couple of rounds. It seemed like this weekend...

    260 Loads Only

    Re: 260 Loads Only Update Shot the same ladder test today with BR2's and CCI 200's. H4350, same loads as before (39.5, 39.8, 40.1, 40.4, 40.7, 41.0). This time I seated the bullets a little further back in the case, thinking that the pressure may have been because the bullet was possibly...

    Re: 260 Loads Only Here's some pics of 39.5, 39.8, & 40.1. Are these primers considered "cratered". Ejector marks are shown on some, but not all.

    260 Loads Only

    Re: 260 Loads Only Went out and tried some more ladder testing with lower charge weights. Started at 39.5, 39.8, 40.1, 40.4, 40.7 & 41.0 grains of H4350. I am actually still seeing some ejector marks on the brass even at 39.8 grains which is only 2706 fps. Primers are slightly cratering...

    260 Loads Only

    Re: 260 Loads Only I picked up 100 new Remington brass today. I am going to run another ladder test with lower charge weights. I didn't think 42.3 grains was near the high end of H4350. I have seen several people running up to 44 grains, so I thought 42.3 would be ok. On my last ladder test...

    260 Loads Only

    Re: 260 Loads Only I was able to get out and shoot on Sunday with the different bullet seating depths. The best groups came at .020 off the lands @ 2824 fps. 139g Scenar, Remington Brass, CCI BR2, 42.3g H4350. For some reason on Sunday I was seeing larger spreads in the fps than normal. It...

    gap ar-10 260 remington loads

    Re: 260 remington loads I'm running 42.3 grains at about 2860 fps out of my Savage 10FCP with a Shilen 26" barrel. Start low at around 40 grains and work up slowly watching for any pressure signs. At about 43 grains and up the bolt got a little sticky and didn't want to open well. No primer...
