Load data for Barnes LRX 127 gr. in 260 Remington

[crazyhorse]

I just received a box of 127 gr. LRX for my 260. I can't seem to find any load data for this bullet anywhere! I have the barnes reloading manual but I don't know enough about it to convert information from a similar weight bullet. I know barnes is particular about pressure due to the unique configuration of their bullets.

Can anyone provide any info on this bullet for a 260?

I sent barnes an email but don't expect a response anytime soon due to the recent panic and subsequent rush on all things shooting.

My rifle is a M700 with a PAC NOR 24" barrel 1:8" twist

Thanks!

I don't shoot a .260, but for my 6.5x284 I worked up a good load with H4350 and the 127 LRXs. I used Barnes load data for the 130 grain bullets as a good go-by.

Loaded up a few today.

Going to try 43gr of H4350 and work from there

I asked the same question a few weeks back and I also have a 1:8 twist barrel. Let us know what you come up with.

The below data is for the 130AB on Hodgons site. That points to 43gr being close to max for the 127gr Barnes. I ran the figures through Quick Load and it confirms a high pressure. I would rather try 41gr to see at what rate the propellant burns in YOUR firearm.
