[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 437576, member: 10723"] I have tried both 120 TSX and TTSX. I loaded the TSX bullets with RL-19, 47.0 grains gave me 2875 ft/sec and 47.5 grains produced 2914 ft/sec.. The accuracy was good but not great. With the TTSX bullets I loaded them with RL-17. 44 grains produced 2952 ft/sec. with good accuracy. I have never been able to get great accuracy from RL-17 in most of my guns. The exception is my 300WSM. It shoots 168TTSX bullets quite well using RL-17. You have RL-17 so this could work for you. Most of these powder produce good results in the 260 Rem.. The Nosler Manual #6 data showed that the most accurate powder with the 120 grain bullets in Hunter. I have found this to be true in my gun. 120 Sierra Match and 120 Nosler BT's have shot great. Five shot groups are around 1/2 inch. I have shot a three shot group of.85 at 300 yards with the 120 Match and a three shot group of around one inch at 300 yards with the 120 Nosler BT. [/QUOTE]
