[QUOTE="Plade, post: 679743, member: 17236"] In my experience the 260AI has proven to be a great calibre. In agreement with the comments above - the cream of wheat fireform method is easy; case trimming is almost non existant and brass life has been good for me. I have a long throat in my rifle and can comfortably seat the long 140gn berger vld's with plenty of room for powder. I do not have a straight 260 to compare it to but I shoot the above projectile with low es and low pressure at 2950fps out of a 26in tube. After a lot of load devt Vithavouri n560 has proven to be the ultimate powder in my rifle. Faster velocities are possible (+50/60fps) before pressure rears its head but there is little gain in flogging to the very max. I am based in New Zealand and reliably take game to a self imposed max of 800 yds with this calibre. [/QUOTE]
