Any powders to drive 120gr TTSX in a 260 Rem to 3000fps?

3000+ fps attainable with 22"+ barrels with RL17, Win760, H414

Ditch the H4831sc for this use, can't get enough powder behind them to get the pressure required to go much above 2900 fps in 22"
 
I am thinking H414 should get you where you want to be - its one of the best performing powders in a 260 with 120gr bullets in the rifles i have had.
I was zipping 120smk's at a hair over 3000 with a semi-stout load and still had more room to go out of a 24" barrel
R17 too, but good luck finding it, plus, it was real finicky in my guns.

Ya I'm compressed now with the H4831SC, looks like I will be calling my powder guy to see if they have any W760 or H414. Seems to be to two most liked by you gents and probably easiest to get.
 
Order some from x-reload. I use the 129 & 142 grain ABLRs in 6.5x55 and have great accuracy and so far the 129 has performed admirably on game.
