[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1286205, member: 82202"] D I am not surprised at the velocity you are getting from a 20"bbl and 140gr. I have owned and shot 5 260's none have been 20" but the 22's I have shot were slower than 24's. Some are fast and some are slow and that's that. What powder charge and brass are you using and is the velocity you posted with 143 or 123gr? I would try to find some RL 26 all the data I have seen shows it to be the fastest powder in the 260 rem Its a lot slower than 4895. H414/WIN 760 have been good in all H100 is good but temp sensitive IME. I have always been so satisfied with H4831SC that its been hard to set aside as my top choice. Been shooting 120's with 48.5gr and 140's with 44.5 accuracy has been stellar and 100+ in velocity with 140's above your post. You should expect 100 fps loss in velocity from most guides which test 24"bbl. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
