260 ai powder

[liv4thehunt]

I'm running 48.2 grains or rl26 in my 260ai, at 3006 fps with 143 eldx 26"barrel. I would still try it with the short barrel. Even if you lost 30 fps per inch you would still be in the low to mid 2800's.

Sounds good . Pretty sure I got a bit of 26 !

Post back after you test with RL26. I have a 260ai and would like to know your results.

On the next .260 AI I'm going to build specifically to be supressed, it's going to have a 20" barrel and I'm going to start off with RL26.

Terry Cross uses 48.5 grains of H4831 or H4831SC. That produces great accuracy, and about 2935 fps with a 26" barrel. He uses 139gr Lapua bullet and 2.820" OAL for his match load according to an article he wrote. I use a few grains less for my 260 Remington with one ragged hole results.

What load and what velocity are you getting with your 260?
