260 Rem powder choices

[clintbailey]

What powders has everyone used in a 260 Rem? I know its not a real popular cartridge, but figured a few of yall have used them. @Shooter64 told me he used H4350 when I got the gun from him, and I have some of that powder, but will probably run a slightly heavier bullet plus would love to use ball powder if possible. I have some H380, BLC2, and Win760 on hand. If velocities won't compare prettt close, then I'll just use the H4350 if needed.

Clint I’m running a 140 Amax in my 260 and I use 4831SC.

Currently use H4350, but I bought 1lb of the Staball 6.5 to test. I'm running 130gr Berger Hybrids in an AR10 FWIW.

I wish I could get the 140 Amax still!

I need to look into some of the new powders, just hard to find them out my way sometimes, esp now

I run light weight bullets through mine (100 grain). So far, I've had the best luck with Varget and IMR 4350. I have not tried H4350 - it's not one that I have on hand.

I have quite a few 140 6.5 a-maxes if you want some of them.

Let me know a price or trade please, via PM is fine

I use H4350 in my sons 260 with Remington brass and 140 gr Berger Hybrid with a muzzle velocity of 2887. This has been a very accurate load in his rifle.

After checking my stock yesterday, I have about twice as much H4350 as Win 760, so it might get used anyways...
