Need .260 gas gun load help w/ lighter bullets

[nickw]

Hello,
I'm new to reloading centerfire rifle cartridges other than .223. For .223 I use pre-sized / prepped brass that just requires a primer, powder and bullet. Really easy. I have no loading equip. for .260 so any advice is appreciated. I load .223 on a Dillon 550B and pistol ammo on Dillon presses as well.

I've got a JP LRP-07 gas gun rifle in .260 coming. 22" 1:8 twist bbl. JP is recommending lighter weight bullets like the 123gr. scenar and VV N550 @ 2800fps. I was looking for some other loads with the lighter weight bullets to try. I don't really want to spend a lot of time on case prep if I don't have to. Rifle will be used for LR / precision rifle matches. If you can be as specific as possible, I'd appreciate it.

I did do quite a bit of research (searching forums) and there is a lot of data out there for .260 bolt gun loads, but not gas guns (at least I couldn't find it). I understand that a good load for a bolt gun may not be good for a gas gun, issues with port-pressure and such.

Thanks in advance for the help.
Nick-

Thanks Victor- I had saw that thread, but most of the discussion was in reference to bolt gun loads. Nick-

I posted this question in the gas gun section and got some good input.
