Well, started load development for the .260 using Hornady 143gn eld-x bullets. Powder charges started from 40.5gn of AR2209 to 41.7gns , Lap brass, Fed match primers and all bullets seated 5 thou off lands. Three shot groups at 100yds with the smallest group of .546" and the largest of .794.......

what sort of distance

That one was 110yds...even though a killing shot through the head, all I could find was a blood trail going back to the burrow, tough little critters.

Here is a few mods I did to my Marlin 880 s/s .22lr....and a couple of rodents

Even though this is for a 28" barrel and I'm using Berger 140 you can start with a load of 39.5 and go from there. Also all the loads had a .020 thou jump to lands. I found a accuracy node at 2650 FPS, it bug holes. The next accuracy node was at 2800 FPS which gave me a slightly larger group a...

Thanks mate, thats the info I was looking for....I already have 2217 so all I need to do is get the Hornadys

Hi folks, Iam interested in working up some loads for my .260rem using Hornady 143gn eld-x bullets but cannot seem to find much data on loads.
Does anyone know load data for this bullet?, will be using fed match primers and Lap cases but have not decided on powder yet.
cheers.

Frakka use bushing neck dies and sleeved competition style seaters and you won't see oscillating tips when you roll your ammo on the table Thats exactly what I use...but every now and then a round turns up with a little runout ...no harm in taking that little extra step to ensure ALL your rounds ar...

I read the guff on the Hornady website about the tool: "Just place ammunition in the tool, roll it, identify runout, and use the dial indicator to adjust runout to zero! It can be used to true-up factory ammunition, too.". If you can use the device to adjust run-out to zero, wouldn't you ...

A lot of good advice there S.A will have to have a look when I go back to factory and check it out Glad you found it helpful, I reckon you will be surprised by the variation in runout...since using the guage the groups have definitely shrunk but the most pleasing thing about it is that it will redu...

Never seen a factory round at a benchrest match. What your doing is obviously getting you results but I think uncle nick might be talking about the newbie heroes on the Facebook pages Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No mate but he was actually talking about a mate of his who was getting mediocre...

f you shoot Factories either through necessity or by choice, have you ever wondered how to get the most accuracy out a box or two of ammo? Im sure after you have purchased your new bang stick that you have tried different brands (talking about C/Fs ) and have discovered which brand it likes best, th...

Hi fellas, Ive got 5 WW2 M1carbine mags (at least I think they are WW2 vintage) here with a WW2 ammo pouch, on the front of the pouch it says US and on the back J.Q.M.D 1942. Each mag has only two letters punched into it U1, KI OR 1, RUGG, RUGG these letters are on the rear spine of the mag, the lon...

...thats pretty fucked mate,and to find bits of your rifle in an old tin with shit on it, what a fucking tosser.
What amazes me is that these cunts manage to stay in business, if they were mechanics they wouldnt survive.

Ok, we have all had bad experiences with so called Gunsmiths...you know the type, when you take in a gun to get some work done on it and you get it back looking like its been dragged through a barbwire fence backwards...thats IF you get it back. I have had my fair share of Gunbutchers, one Gentleman...
