[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1664576, member: 90453"] I can get 2875-2890 pretty easy with 28” h4831sc and 142 smk’s out of my .260. With h4350 and a 6.5 creed I never got above 2800 with any accuracy out of a 23” barrel and 140 elf-ms. My accuracy load was 2700-2710. Now at around 20”, it actually shoots a little faster at 2725-2735. Rl26 I could get a little more than 2800 but it was a little finicky and I ended up going to h4350. If you are building it I would go .260 and plan to load 2.900” coal. You can pick up a little more speed on the creed if you load long, Wyatt’s and a bdl it increases my set hunting distance 100 yards. Factory I just don’t know you can buy a .260 that is set up to take advantage of a longer case. As an aside, my .260 is a better shooter than my 6.5 creed, but they are different rifles built for different means and both are consistently .5 moa or better. [/QUOTE]
