    260 Loads Only

    I also load that load in Lapua brass. I mainly load the Win. brass because i have so much of it. It works just as well in Lapua. Hope this helps. ....... SEMPER FI!

    260 Loads Only

    Now you are thinking instead of being frustered. Just remember,one thing at a time. Mine surprised me one day when i decided to try Hornadys Superformance Powder and the 120 gr. A-MAX bullet. I have a 1x8.5 twist. That should not make a difference though. I was getting over 3100 fps. and 1/4" @...

    260 Loads Only

    Capn,does your rifle shoot any bullet into a good group? What twist rate do you have? New or once fired brass? Is your scope a proven accurate one? There may be more than a bullet/ powder problem here. What other weight bullets have you tried? I know how frustrating it can be,but if you start...

    260 Loads Only

    Mr. Jack, I use Win. .243 Brass and either Fed./M or CCI BR2. I am jumping 12 thou. on the Scenar. Groups well but the velocity is a little slow for this Barrel but it shoots well enough as is. You are pushing a little over my load. Try backing down to my load and see if it comes together for...

    Try changing to the 139 gr. Lapua Scenar with 46.3 gr. H-4831sc. This load gives me 1/2"-1/4" groups with 2800+ fps. It works just as well in other .260's i know of. ............ SEMPER FI!

    Hunting & Fishing “Need” a new hunting rifle – Deer & Elk

    The .280 Rem. Mountain Rifle should not be overlooked for this op's needs. I have used it in CO.to take three Elk with the 160 gr. NOS. Partition bullet with good results. Only had to track one. Longest shot was taken at 285 yds. DRT. HAVE a good hunt. ............. SEMPER FI!

    Anybody else pissed off about this?

    So this store owner opens up the powder and sells it in half pound containers? How were the marked? One container could be correct of the contents but what kind of container was the other half in? Sounds like this guy is playing with fire if he gets the powder mixed up. NEVER buy powder that has...

    Hunting & Fishing “Need” a new hunting rifle – Deer & Elk

    The 6.5x55 has been used in Europe for a longer period of time that most people live. It has been and still is used on Moose. That is a very large and tough animal. Recoil is light and the rifles can be had in a lightweight platform without much concern about recoil. The cartridge is very...

    Hunting & Fishing “Need” a new hunting rifle – Deer & Elk

    30/06 will do all you need if 30 cal. is your preference. It will and has been doing it for over 100 yrs. now. Animals are still the same as they were 100 yrs. ago. Only the rifles have changed. Magnums are unpleasant to shoot. 30/06 is very managable and easier on your shoulder. Just pick any...

    IMR 4320, what's the best use

    Anybody else pissed off about this?

    Go to Gun Bots.com and see who else is running up their price on 22LR Ammo. A few i never knew existed and won't look them up again either. We will have to wait until this madness stops before anyone starts getting Ammo and keeping it in stock. Just dont buy from these pirates and send them an...

    260 Loads Only

    Superformance and the .260 I would hope they are very much better at $10.00+ more per 100. Wonder when the madness will end? Yes i too feel like i could go higher but i'm getting one hole and 3100+ with the 120 gr. A-MAX out of a 30" Bartlein 8.5 twist barrel. I only think velocity would...

    260 Loads Only

    Hi Southpaw, i have also tried Superformance in my .260 an got great results with the 120 gr. A-MAX. Over 3100 fps and one hole group @ 100 yds. Looking at your results confirms my thoughts on this powder. I felt like it could be pushed harder because i saw no pressure signs at all. The group...

    Need a .260 load for Hornady 123 AMAX and H4350

    I have gotten good results with H-4831sc and the 139 lapua bullet also. I do not have access to a range close by that is over 100 yds. so i cannot tell you what my loads will do at longer ranges. However i think that they will do well though. I'm guessing at this because my .308 will and did do...

    Need a .260 load for Hornady 123 AMAX and H4350

    That may be quite sometime with the panic still running full steam but if i do happen upon some 129 SST's i'll post. In the mean time i will continue with the 120 gr. A-Max bullets i have. I got over 3100 fps. with no pressure signs at all and the group looked like a 30 cal. hole. 5 shot group @...
