[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 74410, member: 1920"] Tacshot, The OAL of the .260 AI with bullets .002 into the lans are: 139 gr. Lapua 2.827 140 gr. SMK 2.770 142 gr. SMK 2.849 123 gr. Lapua 2.836 Savage 16 short action. This has truly been a pleasure loading for as I haven't found a load that shoots bad. Everything shoots at under 1/2" at 100yds. most shooting 1/4" with the vv560 powder I started at 45 grs. and worked up in 2/10 gr, increments. At 45.8 gr. E.S was in the 20's when I bumped it up to 46 gr. E.S moved in to the single digits.No excessive pressure signs on primer or base of case. I would not have hesitated to go up another 2/10 but I was very happy with what I had. I did a quick 3 shot group at a 700 yd target and they fell into 2-1/2" the gun flat shoots. I'm the ony limitation on it's performance. hope this answers some of your questions, 308nate goodgrouper, I'll give the reloader 22 a try again. according to my notes, I was at 47 grs. with the 140 SMK with 2921 FPS and E.S of 7.5 fps. accuracy was awesome but I guess I just had to keep looking cuz that's half the fun [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] sounds like you know your powder!
