Has anyone here seen 2900 fps with a 22" bbl and 120 TTSXs? I have a good load at 2820 with accuracy, from H4350 in a Montana, but looking to flatten it out a bit at 300 yds.
Barnes shows max at 42.3 @2853
Hodgsdon 2021 shows max at 46.5@ 2960
for 120 Speer ST

Thanks
 
Can't speak to 4320 or .260 for that matter but I would try 6.5 staball. I was very close to 2900 in a 6.5 cm with a 20" barrel and the 127lrx. 2900 should be very doable.
 
Shouldn’t be too hard.

I hit 3130 and a good accuracy node with 47.5 grains of H4350 with 100gr ttsx in a 16” creed not the same… but not that different.

Here’s the Barnes book #4 image.jpgpage on 260:
 
Try H4350 as this is my go to powder for my 260AI. I’m getting 2950 dropping 47.0 grains, 120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip out of my 24” barrel. YES, it is accurate and I am not all that concerned about speed when accuracy is more important. It has accounted for numerous WT, MD, TX exotics, African and Spanish game in the past. Find a load that is very accurate and set up a drop chart to correspond with the speed. Hope this helps. MTG
