[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1445860, member: 2736"] I am in the process of working up loads for a 260 AI and I have not found any loads with 147 grain bullets close to those velocities. I have a 26''barrel and it looks like it will exceed 2900 with the 130s and stay within 260 pressures (60.000 psi) It looks like Reloader 16 or H 4831 will be the best/fastest powder in the AI version. It might be wise to use a lighter bullet (Like the 143 grain class) to get you where you want to be. I went with the 260 AI in order to increase the powder capacity and shoot the heavy 6.5 bullets. I don't know enough about the 260 yet to give much advice, but it sounds like your loads are a little hot if you want to stay within SAMME pressure limits, So be careful. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
