[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1893626, member: 82202"] Rharfo did you check the water weight of the brass with the extractor marks? Be interesting to see what that will tell you. Looks like the federal brass is a good bit heavier. If you can resize the case body without the neck you can mark a 130gr at 2.800 oal and put the bullet In a case to the mark weight the water left and see if it's less than Nosler data. 43gr may produce the same velocity but you'll only determine that when you get your chrono back. Dropping back a grain will probably be plenty. Always check capacity if you can when using max loads with nosler data it's one of the reasons data varies so much. I note that berger does not give a case capacity and max is 40.3gr and swift says 44 with Remington cases. Any time the data gives a case capacity you should check or just work up to a grain less. As has been suggested pay attention when shooting max loads of I4350 on hot days the temperature sensitive powders can change velocity and point of impact. I really like H4831 and H4350 in the 260. Good luck and shoot straight y'all [/QUOTE]
