[QUOTE="8andbait, post: 858847, member: 40850"] my 260 would not shoot 4350 to my satisfaction so I switched to varget (thanks to Dan Newberry). The 130 berger with 39 grains of varget gives me 2880 fps and excellent accuracy. If you want to use the 4350 I would suggest starting at 42 gr and working up to 44 if it is safe you should find something between 43 and 43.6 that will work. The biggest problem with the heavies in the 260 is powder space, I get compressed loads with as little as 43.6 grains and a 130 berger. A drop tube will solve that problem but I don't see any disadvantage to having too much bullet in the brass other than loosing space. I think the 260 is better suited for lighter bullets unless it is throated and magged specifically for the long range bullets. For this reason I will be going creedmoor from now on. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
