[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 437256, member: 10723"] I have had quite a bit of experience loading my Model 7 Remington in 260 with a Hart barrel. My gun has a 1in 9 twist and it does not like the 130 Accubonds as well as it does some other bullets. My gun shoots the 120's extremely well. However that did not keep my from trying to get it to shoot the 130 Accubonds. Since Nosler makes the bullets I followed their load data in Manual #6. They data shows that RL-19 is the most accurate powder with the 130 Accubonds. I have worked up loads with RL-19 from their listed starting loads up to max and slightly above. I know that you don't have RL-19, but from my experience it works great for velocity and if you have a 1in 8 twist you should get your gun shoot this powder accurately. As far as velocity is concerned I have gotten 2900 ft/sec with the 130 Accubonds. My gun has a 22 inch barrel. I have also loaded H4350 using 129 Hornaday SP's, RL-17 using 120 Barnes TSX's and Hunter with 120 Nosler Bt. Right now I have this gun ready for a deer hunt loaded with 120 Nosler Bt and 44 grains of Hunter. I just checked the Nolser web site and it looks like that you could go with either H414 or H4831. I think that either of these powders will work and since you are on a short time frame you could just load with H414 and see what happens. Your 24 inch barrel should help you get to your 2800 ft/sec goal with ease. [/QUOTE]
