Re: 260 sub sonic
What's the twist rate? Can you get Alliant's Unique or Red Dot or Bullseye or the easiest will be Trail Boss although I forget who makes TB.
I'm not familiar with ADI powders. Generally for SS ammo you need a fast burning, low density powder that fills the case up well and the heaviest bullet you can get ahold of.
For 260's you might be able to get Hornady 160 RN's and they'll stabilize in the same twist rate that a 130 BTHP match bullet will.

Re: 260 sub sonic
My twist is 1/8.5 .I havent seen all the powders you mention but think some one here will hsve the alliant -the hornady projectiles are here .
Would this SS round be ok out to 300 yards or less ?

Re: 260 sub sonic
If it's stable out of the muzzle, it's going to be fine out to as far as you can hit with it. The round will have a rainbow trajectory, but as long as you have elevation and wind adjustment left, you can keep going.
I wouldn't use it for hunting beyond vermin control, but if you feel you can cleanly kill an animal with a 22 or 22mag, then this will do the trick.

Re: 260 sub sonic
Handloader magazine had an article where they loaded the 260 Rem with Hodgdon's Trail Boss for subsonic loads. I'll post the info later tonight when I can look back through the magazine. It listed many common calibers with Trail Boss, and had great info.

Re: 260 sub sonic
Trail boss is obtainable over here in NZ, I have some for 308 loading subs....just if ordering some remember it is light powder.....500gr is in a 4kg size tub
Run the heaviest pills you can find to retain as much energy as you can

Re: 260 sub sonic
I work a lot with that sort of stuff.. what is your application?
I shoot a lot of 260 also..there are more accurate powders than Trail Boss if you are looking for distance...
are you punching paper long range, or are you looking to do something more seriously with the application..
PM me, I can probably help you out..once your application is a little clearer...the other key is to have a bullet that will do its intended job once it gets on target..
