[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3347730, member: 33119"] Yes, There are a few things that could be added to this sheet but it's a really good start. I think [USER=4711]@Rustygun[/USER] was looking for something like this. I'll be printing off a couple of these once I start working up serious load data for my Tikka. Loading for two different 260 Rem (Savage and Tikka) using 3 different types of brass (Lapua, Peterson, and Remington) one needs to be really careful. I already had to rebuild my sons Savage bolt face due to high pressure with Lapua brass. I can load Remington brass a lot heaver and achieve higher MV than the Lapua brass for the Savage. What I'm loading currently for my Tikka in the Peterson brass would blow up my sons Savage if it was loaded in the Lapua brass. I'm going to try Peterson brass in my sons Savage, Hopefully I can load it heaver than the Lapua. If so, I'm going to stop using Lapua brass altogether for the our 260's. I have a really good load for the Savage using Rem. brass and Berger 140gr Hybrid at 2,887 fps but I can't replicate it in the Lapua brass and I'm unsure if I can do it in the Peterson brass. With the Lapua brass the best I can safely achieve is 2,775 fps. Several pieces of my Rem brass have loose primer pockets and my supply is slowly dwindling. I also need to get color coded ammo boxes, one color for Tikka and another for the Savage. Currently I've written with a black marker, "Tikka Only" on the boxes. As a PSA, it's another good reason not to shoot your buddies reloads in your rifle. They may shoot great in his but could blow up yours. [/QUOTE]
