260Rem loads with VihtaVuori powder?

[Slaapen]

Hi
Trying to work up some 260 loads. Hodgdon/IMR/Alliant Powder is almost impossible to find here in my country-only handgun powder and H-1000 available.

My setup is Rem 700, trued with 27,5" Lilja SS 8 twist, 3 grove barrel.
Any one of you have some good loads using VihtaVuori or Norma powder? 123-140grs bullets and I am using necked down 308 Lapua brass until the 260 Lapua brass is available. I use type 2 Alpha magazines, so coal is max 2,95".

Thanks

I've used VV N550 w/123 Scenar in the past.

N160 has a similar burn rates to the 4350s powders in my rifles. I would look hard there.

N160 has also shot very accurately for me in the past.

Norma 204 is the Norma powder I think would work best for you, especially with 120g class bullet. MRP looks good for the heavies.
