[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1329040, member: 87243"] If you go much higher I would suggest using a drop tube, but it sounds like you may be already to fit 50 grains with only light compression in a standard .260....I got up to 51.5 grains in my .260 Ackley Improved under a 140 Berger VLD, seated to 2.895" (.005" off) and it isn't compressed but it is 100% fill, no powder shake. That load pushed the 140 to 3170 fps, but I have a 29" barrel. It was a touch hot, leaving ejector marks every couple rounds, so I backed my load down. I am now settled on 49.1 grains under a 140, and its going 3080 fps, with a drop tube I can hear a small amount of powder shaking, I would guess 93%-96% fill. [/QUOTE]
