[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 604587, member: 505"] I agree and I am bored today. Terrible weather and couldn't shoot. Had everything ready to go and just sat here. I was just running the numbers of the 338 I made the 1130 yard kill shot with this year with the 225's to see how they compared to yours. Didn't mean anything by it, just curious. Had no intention of it being apples to apples. You can run it and see what you get. I hunted at 3510-3520 fps with a .64 bc 225 grain. I have since dropped it to 3450-3460 fps and have much better brass life. At the hot load I was five shots and done at $3 a pop. I have not shot the 260's. But judjing what my two 338 Lapuas do with 250's and the 265 barnes I am confident you will get 3000 fps conservatively. And mine are 26" barrels. I was getting over 3000 fps with my 340 wby 28" barrel and 250 sgk in 1979. My lapuas hit just over 3100 fps with the 250 easily so you should be able to shoot the 260 at 3000 fps. You have a good load and don't like copper so really no need to change for 200 fps. [/QUOTE]
