A lot of creed lovers are using this powder, should do ok but in a 260 rem I’m thinking..
Has anyone tried it with the 130 AccuBond or 129 ablr? Or other 130 weight bullets.. maybe someone would be kind enough to run a Quickload for it?? Thanks
You might search for "panhandle precision". There is a website and also a bunch of videos on youtube. He shoots the 260 rem. And it seems like he runs H4350 exclusively . Just a thought
using RL26 is getting the case fill around 109% , that's a little fuller than I care to work with . for me I'd be looking at RL17 .
Cartridge : .260 Rem
Bullet : .264, 130, Nosler AccuBond 56902
Useable Case Capaci: 46.056 grain H2O = 2.990 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 60191 psi, or 415 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %

I have a 260 also .it will be my grandson's when he gets a little older . I played with it a little after I got it . for all the more I messed with it , it seemed to like RL17 . I'm going to play with it more this year . let us know how things work out for you .
