    .260 Remington

    Same here. If I'd have found a better shooting, consistent load at 2700fps I'd have stuck with it

    .260 Remington

    FWIW: I'm running 42.8 gr. and getting 2760 with a 140gr ELDM in a 22" barrel. My Preffered Barrels varmint contour sped up about 55fps. Give it a chance.

    TrailBoss replacement

    Thought about it but I think I'd get erratic numbers due to case fill. I've got some good suggestions out of this and other forums. The problem is going to be actually finding the powders on the shelves. So far I've only found Red Dotand Tin Star.

    TrailBoss replacement

    Speer still offers the round nose 110's but not the HP's which was what I was using. I'll be trying the N320 for sure. I gotta find an accurate load. My oldest grandson (10yrs) is hitting a 8 x 8 plate at 100yds with shitty inferred night scope. Another one joins the ranks. Thanks for all the...

    TrailBoss replacement

    I use CFE BLK with the Maker 200 gr. Rex in the same bolt gun for deer. It's absolutely awesome. I've never tried CFEBLK with light bullets. Thanks again

    TrailBoss replacement

    Thanks tekmann2377, I'm using 110 grainers and we are suppressed. I will definitely give it a shot. Pun intended. Also, SkyScrapin, love the avirar!

    TrailBoss replacement

    Wondering what everyone is using to replace Trail Boss. I just used up the last of mine. I was only using it for light 300 blackout bullets in a bolt gun. Great for teaching the grandsons.

    .260 Remington

    I've had good luck with both. But I'm with zeroz on this one. I feel It's been easier to find good loads with H4350 than RL16 throughout my handloading experience. I think it's more forgiving if that makes sense. With similar cartridges I will always reccomend H4350.

    Maker Rex vs Lehigh Defense Subsonic Hunting Bullet?

    Ive done the water jug test several times. At 1000 fps they both passed through 3 ea. 1 gal. jugs of water and stopped in the 4th. One of the Lehigh lost a petal. The Makers peel back perfectly like in their adds. The Lehigh hits with a loud Crack. Sounds nasty. I've done this several times...

    Subsonic Expanding .300 Blackout Speer bullets

    Thanks for sharing. I'm currently loading 11.8gr of CFEBLK with the 200 Makers with great accuracy and 1015 fps. But I'm going to try Titegroup now to see if I can hear a difference in the report.

    Subsonic Expanding .300 Blackout Speer bullets

    Also, mike_SRT4, If you can find them, my original bullet was the Speer 110 gr hollow point. For what you described this bullet would be perfect. Even at 200yds the nose would flatten out a little and not exit many groundhogs if I could hit them. I'd heard they were out of production...
