Rem 260 Prefered Loads
- Thread starter JEC
- Start date
I have just acquired a Rem 260 and have tried RL-19 with good results.
I have used mainly Hornady bullets. For my rifle Hornady 100g with 47grns RL19, 129 gr SST with 43grns RL19 and 155grn Lapua mega with 38 grns RL19 all have the same POI at 100 yards ( no changing scope POI). These are not at maxium but certainly will get the job done. I really haven't been able to do that with the 140gr SST but haven't played with it a lot yet.
