[QUOTE="Rhovee, post: 2122954, member: 101820"] You’ll be burning +90 grains of powder when you find a load so you should stock up or start doing some trading. If your rifle is really light, I would shoot 250’s. If not then get it throated for 300’s. The 260 hammer hunter and 300 Berger require same freebore. I switched to 260 hammer hunter recently and they shoot grest with H1000 or N565. .007 off. Right around 3000 FPS. My fire form loads are 285 eldm with 86 grains H1000. Make sure you jam the bullets .020. Peterson brass is short on head space. Lapua is longer but still jam. 100 pieces of Lapua will last the barrel. Just do yourself a favor and form all 100 when breaking barrel in. I have 500 rounds on mine and am still on original 50. N570 is to slow for 250’s. I can’t get enough in case to pressure out 300’s. 94.5 grains. It does shoot great with 300’s. Still might try it with 260’s. Here is my last outing with 92.3 of N565 and 260’d. [/QUOTE]
