[QUOTE="eshell, post: 328277, member: 5747"] I don't have my data in front of me, but I tried H4831SC in my .260 with 139 Scenars, hoping that I could use this powder in both the .260 and the 6.5-284. I found a great accuracy node, just before seeing high pressure indications, but when I went afield with it, long range drop was more than my .308/175 SMK load. I chronographed it and velocity was just above 2,550. For a .260, this is dismal. If one is looking for terminal performance, a heavy bullet at 2,600 (the .308/175 factory load) exceeds the 6.5/139 at 2,550 by a very good margin. I currently use H4350 in my .260 with 130 Normas and get 2,950, and other than the slight energy edge provided by my 6.5-284 running 142 SMKs at the same speed, it is nearly as effective for long range.
