    using H4895 in 260

    After much experimentation I found two loads that group well in my 260 bolt gun. One is Lapua 139 using 42.6 gr. of H4350 and the other is 123 SMK using 39.8 gr. h4895. Several other powders were tried with the 123 but nothing good happened until I tried H4895. I get 3004 fps with this load but...

    Re: I need a little help on barrel twist I set them back .015-.060 from lands. The Lapua shoots best at .062 setback.

    I need a little help on barrel twist

    I have a 260 with 8.5 twist that shoots Lapua 139s great. It will not shoot accurately the following; SMK 142, Berger 140 VLD, Hornady 140 AMax. The general difference is .25 MOA for the Lapuas and .75 MOA for the others. I detect no keyholeing on the targets. The AMax states 7.5 twist on the...

    Does Jon Beanland......

    Re: Does Jon Beanland...... I got my first Beanland in 260 a couple of months ago. I am a picky person but I could find nothing wrong that he did with the rifle. There was a problem with the brake that I supplied but Jon fixed the problem ASAP at no extra charge. I have never had better...

    odd results on ladder test

    I got my latest build back from the so called "Savage Guru". He did a full accuracy job and installed a Brux Savage varmit contour 308 22", 1:10. I cannot get it to shoot 5 shot groups less than about .75 MOA. Many run over 1 MOA. I have three other high power rifles that I can get to shoot...

    Very Frustrated with the groupings!!!!

    Re: Very Frustrated with the groupings!!!! I just worked through the same problem with my custom build. I got the same advice you have gotten. None of it was pertinent to my case either. The caliber is .260 Rem. I handload and was using Sierra 142 and 123 Match Kings, Berger VLDs and Hornady...

    Seating VLD bullets

    Re: Seating VLD bullets I do not know if they need annealing. All I know is that they are new. I usually anneal after four firings.

    Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings.

    Re: Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings. I would not mind fire forming with full charge loads if the loads were reasonably accurate. Right now the Win brass is terribly inaccurate. I plan on taking 50 of them and turning the necks and annealing them. If that makes them accurate I...

    Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings.

    Re: Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings. I do not want to fire form my brass with bullets. I would like to try fire forming with a light charge of powder and a filler. Does anyone have a good load for this?

    Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings.

    Re: Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings. My point was not that a certain bullet worked better than another but that the degree of difference between good VLD bullets was suprising. As to seating depth I noted that jammed or jump did not make a big difference. I have never found...

    What mags will really work?

    I have a bolt action 260 with PTG bottom metal. I have Alpha mags but am not happy with them. The sides deflect out and are too tight. There is no interference up to 6 rounds. At 7 there is slight interference, at 8 there is significant interference, at 9 it is difficult to insert the mag and at...

    Unusual component interactions in 260 loadings.

    I got a new bolt action tactical build and started my load development. The barrel is a Kreiger standard Palma 1:8.5 and chambered with what is called a Lapua reamer. I used H4831SC, H4350 and H414. The bullets were SMK 142 and 123. Hornady 140 A Max and Berger 140 VLDs.Primers are 210Ms. Brass...

    Seating VLD bullets

    Re: Seating VLD bullets I just worked through this problem. My new brass had a lot of neck tension. I had as much as .012" difference in seating depth using a Sinclair comparator for checking. Getting the Redding VLD seater helped some but I did not get consistant seating depth until the...
