[QUOTE="Matt27, post: 117266, member: 781"] Beartrack As long as the loads aren't showing any signs of pressure you should be okay. Every gun is differant. If it was me i would consider 49gr max and i would do a few more tests. Load 3 rounds for each charge at 48.3,48.6,48.9 I have a 260 also. The powders i have usedhave been H4831sc, Ramshot Hunter, H-4350, VVN-160, and RL-22. Mine is also throated longer. My COAL for 140class bullets is just under 3" and for a 120gr bullet it is just over 3". Some of my loads have been 3-4gr over due to extra boiler room. If you don't find any acceptable loads with RL-19 try H-4350 out. [/QUOTE]
