[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 328137, member: 18752"] I set up a ladder with the Hornady 129 SST and H4831SC for my 260 Remington 700 Mountain rifle (22" skinny barrel with a pressure point). I found a really nice node at 45.0 grains (.48" 5 shot group). Problem: My Hornady Manual is so old it doesn't even show the 260 Rem. My Lyman 49 doesn't show the Hornady SST 129. Hodgden Powder site doesn't show the SST 129. I am looking for a published MAX load for the SST H4831SC combination. I have absolutely NO pressure signs at the 45 gr Node. I am guessing that there may be another node "up the ladder" with the same accuracy, but, with a little more "kick a**" to it. Velocity is not my goal, terminal ballistics on target are, so I am really happy with finding the 45.0 node. I didn't bring my chronograph yesterday, but, am guessing the 45.0 is on the lower end of the velocity for this cartridge. Thanks for any help and/or advice in advance. rc [/QUOTE]
