260 rem pressures

[Coldfinger]

Primers look fine. Do you have a velocity measurement? That's another piece of information we can use to infer pressure.

I put it across crono this evening
2906
2911
2908

2900+ with a 140 in a .260 is a STOUT load!

I don't think you're in Nuke territory, but I'd suspect brass life will be short.

Personally, I'd be backing it off a bit.

I was thinking of creeping up to 3k just kind of in my foolish dna I guess. I've got 55 left at 2900 so that should make it thru deer season if I use it. I've gotta try it on a deer to see what all the hype is. I'm usually a 22or 6mm fan for deer

Here's a .260 running 143s at 2850. Load was "fine", until it wasn't. Re17 in Rem brass, lucky we found all the parts and the hunt was able to continue.

Surprised you found the primer usually they vanish when it happens to me

Lapua brass would have been a different story.
