[QUOTE="TH, post: 1309541, member: 1046"] I'm shooting the 140grn ELD Match out of my 260. It has a 4 grove Kreiger barrel. I bought some of the 143s but haven't tried them yet. I'm shooting them 2873fps. Alls I can tell you is every barrel is different. I had the same issue with my 34 inch pac-nor barrel on my 408 ended up scrapping it. The good news is there are several bullet makers out there. I would try the 142 SMK. How many rounds do you have down your barrel sometimes they take 300 plus rounds to break in. I have 700 rounds down the tube of my 260 it shot ok .5 inch groups with the 140 Berger hybrids until it hit around 400 rounds then my gun just started shooting .3 inch groups. I picked up a box of the 140 ELDs at the local store to try. I shot the same load same seating depth just switched bullets. Now I'm shooting .1s and .2s . Be patient and keep scrubbing the copper out don't be afraid to try new things. [/QUOTE]
