[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1904973, member: 109378"] I have a .260 Rem in SAKO 85 grey wolf and I love it. It shoots ANYTHING you put through it great. I had to rely on chrony data to work up a load because you couldn't tell anything from just the group sizes--.7 to about .9 moa. I tried seven powders, AA-2520, IMR-4320, WW-760, IMR-4350, RL-17, RL-19 , IMR 4831 and six bullets --129 gr Hndy SST, 130 gr Nos AB, 130 gr Barnes TTSX, 140 gr Sierra Game King, 140 gr Nos Partition, 142 gr Nos ABLR. I wound up using 142 gr Nosler Accubond LR bullet due to BC, 43.5 grs of RL-19, CCI BR-2 primer and Lapua Brass. The series of RL powders comparable to IMR & H series seemed to give abut 80-100 fps advantage in velocity in my rifle. I get 2770 fps out of that load with SD of 6 from a 21.5 in barrel. [/QUOTE]
