All of my experience thus far has been with .308 Win, 300 Win mag, and .223
308 Win seems like it is the easiest caliber in the world to load for - somewhere between 42-45 grains of Varget in the case of your choice plugged up with a 168 or 175 SMK with a .02" jump has worked in every rifle I have ever shot and loaded for.
I've recently read some stuff about .260 Rem stating that it was a bit more finicky to load for. Looking to possibly jump into this caliber so I would like some opinions. I'm interested in the 130-140 bullet class - 130 Berger VLD, 140 Berger VLD, 142 SMK, 140 Amax, and 139 Scenar. Plenty of load data out there, just looking for overall opinions on the cartridge, experiences in developing a load for it, etc.
