Powder Suggestions and Misc Questions

[Ronald W Schaefer]

I'm late to the show but better late then never In my 308 RL15 has beat all comers so far so I stay with it. All 7mm-08's I own (many) love varget powder and its clean-temp stabile-don't over fill the cases-and the most accurate. Would buy varget in any amount you can get right now (I prefer 8lb jugs). IMR4064 is lights out in my 22-250 and very good in the 308 but temp effected from winter to summer up here. What I've said has been said already but one more vote My 260 was the one that stumped me and I never got a powder I liked.......IMR4350 was best

Brass for me its lapua for all.

Savage, agree with all...try RL19 in your .260. I reload for three different rifles and around 44(ish) grs of RL-19 and either 142 Nosler ABLR (my favorite) or Nos Partition or Sierra Game King shoots pretty good with all those pills. I use CCI-BR-2 primers and Lapua brass. I also use about 43 grs of I-4350 with good results, but chrony says about 80 fps faster with RL-19.

I will try that, already use lapua brass and BR2's. 44gr's of IMR4350 was good hunting accuracy but I wanted a little tighter like the 08's shoot, I like to use 130 and140gr AB's in the 260 and never tried the RL19. I know where some is sitting in a shop so I'll give it a try Thanks Dave
