[QUOTE="5R LR SHTR, post: 691497, member: 52156"] i just got a new 260 as well and i totally hear yah about waiting for it, boy the wait really sucks but man is it worth it when yo have the right hands doing the work on a good gun. i just tried RL19 for my break in loads and shot from the hip with a middle of the road load just for break in and i got fantastic results just during break in of the barrel (10x rounds for starters). problem with RL19 is temp sensitivity. i move around alot being in the military so i could be in one spot for a year or two then move to a completely different climate andaltitude i.e. colorado which is where i just came from and there is significant difference in ballistics when it comes to altitude and temp so i favor more insensitive powders, which is also why i am going with H4350. i found that right around 42 grains of H4350 is the ticket behind a 123 lapua scenar. i haven't perfected the load yet but my data and test results lead me in that direction. IMR4831 is also a very good choice but i think H4350 has it beat. i have read alot of articles on this website and a lot of guys choose H4350, but as you know no gun is alike so just test em out. i am int h process of giving the 140 AMAXs a try and have some 142 SMKs and bergers on the way as well to try out. once you find the sweet spot of that gun you probably wont want to do any more testing and shoot the snot out of the load you work with so testing a bunch of stuff is worth it. i did it with my 308 5R and it finally paid off. At 300 yds i can hold a one inch group with SMK 175s. unbelieveable accuracy. good luck! [/QUOTE]
