260 127 lrx

[Bsnyder]

Anyone shooting the 260 with the lrx if so what speeds are you getting?

I can't say i have experience with that combo, but I've always found Barnes load data to be pretty consistent with my chronograph readings. Are you having trouble getting the velocities you want?

I do shoot a 260 AI with a 26 inch barrel. I get 3100 with 130 gr Cutting Edge MTH and about 2950 with 140 grain ELD-M

 

[Bsnyder]

Yeah I'm at 2670 ish at 42 grains I'm taking up to 43 and 43.5 and see if it comes up I'd like to get to 2750 for my 22 inch barrel

 

[Bsnyder]

My kicker is the 120 Ttsx were over 3000 with no pressure and was closing in on 3100

What powder are you using for each bullet? Your load for the 120's seem a little hot compared to Barnes data, but depending on what powder you are using, another grain and a half of powder might get you there. Barnes max loads were topping out in the high 2700s to low 2800s with a 24 inch barrel. If it's still not fast enough for your liking, try Superformance. Barnes said the max load gives 2916, but be careful because they also list it as a compressed load.

Yeah id have to go back and look for the 120s I'm using hybrid 100v a follow their load data close this rifle seems to like hot loads for whatever reason.

I'm getting 2860 with 45.0 H4350 and a 130 Berger in a 24" barrel. I tried 100v and it was faster, but the H4350 was below moa at 1k so I stuck with it.

My 260 is loaded with the Berger 140 VLD, H-4831SC 45 grains cci large rifle primer and my FPS is 2677 out of a 26” green mountain barrel. Chronographed with magneetospeed
