[QUOTE="stxhunter260ai, post: 1334767, member: 98255"] I've been watching results on here for a while, during which time I've been doing my own testing with my 24" 260ai. I previously tried 4831 sc, H4350 and IMR 4451 and couldn't find a combination that would get over 2835 before running in to pressure, most being right around 2800. I eventually bought Quick Load and saw RL26 was listed as the fastest powder and started doing some searching online, thats when I found this thread. Using 140 HVLD I'm able to get 2948 without pressure and 143 ELDX is producing 2910 at the accuracy node. My goal doing this build was to get the 140 class bullets over 2900 and up until using RL26 I was pretty disappointed in the speeds I was seeing. Accuracy nodes are producing SD of 5-6 and ES of 2-16. I'm in the Houston area and our temps have been 95+ with high humidity over the past couple of months. In fact, I went out to shoot today and the head index was 105! As far as temp stability I haven't shot in lows going to highs like some have, but I have noticed pressure signs and erratic velocities if I let the round sit in the chamber for more than 2-3 breaths. Going from the rounds sitting in the AC of the truck to sitting on the shooting bench I don't really notice much noticeable change in velocity from the first to last round fired. For the foreseeable future I think I'll be sticking with RL 26. I'm getting the speeds I was hoping for and accuracy has been between 0.4-0.5 MOA (may mess with the seating depth a bit to see if I can tighten it up some) but that's about what I've come to expect out of this rifle.
