[QUOTE="fishingstockwell, post: 1225742, member: 96590"] I haven't loaded for the 260 AI, but I have been using RL 26 in a 6.5x55 sweede, which I believe has similar capacity. I contacted Berger and they gave me a max load of 51.6 grains with the 130 Berger AR. So far RL26 has given me better speed than any other powder. Getting 2850 out of a 20" barrel. IMR 4350 gave me 2800 fps at 47.0 grains, which is about 4 grains over max. Then again, max for the 6.5x55 is based on 46k psi. I think you will like the RL 26. Very good ES and SD. Every .5 gr gave me additional 40 fps. I've also hear that is is fairly temperature stable, with less than .5 fps change per degree. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
