[QUOTE="biologicole, post: 619166, member: 38219"] I've been trying to develop some loads for my 260 Rem in a Savage model 11 long range hunter 24" barrel with 1:8 twist using 140gr and 142 gr SMK's and WLR primers. Using near maximum published charges I've found that H4350 is more accurate then H4831sc with similar velocities and no pressure signs. Then I started playing with Reloder 17. I loaded some 140 SMK's with 40.0gr and quit after the second shot because of major pressure signs. I've heard lots of good things about RL17, but right now I'm wondering if I should pursue testing loads with it or abandon it. I'm definitely going to pull the rest of this batch apart and re-evalute this powder. My questions are: Is anyone else reloading for a 260 using RL17? Is anyone else having pressure issues, or heard of pressure issues, with RL17? If you're using RL17, what are your loads/charge weights? [/QUOTE]
