260 rem and R26??

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

Matching Maximum Pressure: 60191 psi, or 415 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
