120gr Amax for .260?

[TW159]

Does anyone have some reloading data for 260rem with a 120gr Amax? Can't find anything except for 6.5 creedmore and that's only using H4350 or other 120gr bullets. If no one has any guess i'll start with 120gr MK data. Also need a coal.

Thanks

You should be fine using the 120 SMK data. Just start under max and work up. H4350 would be a great powder for it. Seat the bullet long and chamber it (lightly) and see if it hits the lands. If it hits, keep seating it slightly deeper (.010"-.020") until it chambers with no resistance and does not leave any rifling marks on the bullet. Make sure it fits and feeds from your magazine, and you're set. If it doesn't fit in the mag, seat it deeper until it does.
