[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 322833, member: 20333"] My 260 rifles and the 6.5x06 rifles all have 26 inch barrels. I have a 1-9 twist in each caliber and all the rest are all 1-8 twist. The load used to get to 3,100 fps with the 140gr Barnes XCL was with IMR-4350. I started at 51 grains (2,982 fps) and worked up. The problem with the 140 XCL is that it left a mess in the barrel with serious copper fouling. I did not like the process of shoot a couple of shots, clean and shoot a couple of shots. If you did not do so, the groups went to 4 inches very quickly. The Hornady Interloc while slower, never was a problem with copper fouling. Hope this gives you the direction you were seeking. If you follow this path, be careful about fouling it will jump your pressures. Best, Ed [/QUOTE]
