260 loads / powder

[grmroper001]

All,
I am having a semi custom 260 built, wanted to get some opinions on what others who are reloading the 260 are seeing velocity wise? What powders has anyone had good luck with? Recipies? Rifle will have a 1 in 8 26" shilen barrel.

Thanks for the help,
Joe

Thanks for the input wnroscoe. Helluva learning curve for the beginning reloader. Tons of powder / bullet choices.
