Any of you folks have a favorite load for the .120 gr Ballistic Tip out of a .260 Remington barrel 1 in 9 twist, 24" Bullberry barrel.
 
H4350 is a winner so is RL19. I can't give you a recipe as I shoot a .260ai.
Hogdon shows 46.5gr as max.
Alliant shows 46gr for a 129gr Hrdy.
Use those as max., drop 3gr & work up.
 
Mine is:

120gr NBT
Rem Brass
Win Primer
45grs H414
OAL: 2.800

Remington Mt Rifle 22" barrel 2889fps and accurate from my gun.
 
My wifes .260 is a Remington Model 7

38gr of N-140
CCI BR-2
Remington Brass
120gr B-Tip

Most recent and best load now is
48gr RL-19
100gr B-Tip
 
I am doing real good with R19 in my 260s with both 120gr BTs and Sierra MKs. I prefer a little more bullet for hunting, but that need is debatable. I have also had pretty good luck with H4831sc and this bullet wgt. The accuracy was good but the velocity was a little lower in my rifle. You might want to try it though if R19 doesn`t please you in yours.
