1st 260 remington loads

[Ruttinbuck]

Just picked up a new to me Remy mtn rifle dm in 260rem. I'm planning on trying the Hornady 129gr sp 1st then possibly 140 sp bullets.
I have H4350 and H4831sc here and have nosler,Speer books for data. Anybody have a recent Hornady manual and can share their data for these powders and bullet weights?
Thx RB

43.5 gr of 4350 and hornady 129 is an accurate and deadly loss in my 260 m7

Go to the IMR / Hodgdon website it will show you all the data for the 260 rem with all the bullet weights

IMR 4350 has been my go-to in the 6.5 x 55 for many years; very similar load.

They do but some of the higher BC bullets it is good to have data specific to them.

The 6.5x55mm 142gr Hodgdon data with a 143gr ELD-X are not really usable, the start load was sticky in my rifle, which aligns exactly with the Hornady data as the Hornady data has a max under the start load of Hodgdon.

Mine really likes Sierra 142 gr bullets, and Berger 140's. As in small ragged one hole groups like. - dan

The 700 Mtn Rifle DM is a nice rifle, enjoy

panhandle precision on YT would be worth watching he loves his 260 does load development and explains the "why"
