    TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads I made it to the range this past weekend for my 2nd outing with the TRG, this time with 123 Scenars and H4350. The results were not bad, though I was bedeviled by the 4 in, one out, phenomenon that comes and goes. Load? Shooter? Most likely me, the shooter...

    TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads Nice work, Lakeway, and nice shooting; 10-15 will certainly push them around a little, even at 100 yards. It's remarkable, with fundamentally just a (minor?) change in bullet and jump distance, how much difference shows up in velocity, ES, and SD. Your points...

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads Decided to clean my new 260 ahead of shooting it for the first time tomorrow. 20 patches later, and 3 cycles of J-B paste, I'm still seeing signs of copper. What's up with that? Anyone else experience this level of fouling?

    TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 Rem loads Mark, I'm all ears. About to load my Berger 140 VLD's this week. Am interested in what powder/load, COAL, and any MV data you can share.
