I know of a few roksliders using and some that maybe looking into the 260ai round, thought I would start a thread with some info on the two I have ran with some loading info as well.
Jump in if you have 260ai data to add
-1st was done on a Steven's model 200 action with a stockys tactical laminated stock, internal box mag was used, Mc Gowan 27" 1:8 barrel, sharp shooter supply competition trigger, nightforce nxs, lapua brass with H4350 (42.5grains) 140 berger hunting vld with cci br2 primers @ 2825fps from memory. I did try some eazor precision 146grain bullets in it and rl26 at the end of barrel life, but it always shot the above load best in competition @EdgeFan , hunting and longer range practice @pyroducksx3
-2nd is on a defiance anti with a mesa precision altitude stock, wilson 1:8 #4 fluted barrel @25", trigger tech primary trigger, using mdt magazines, swfa 3-15, thunderbeast ultra 7.
Have used some starline, but mainly been using and sticking with alpha brass, cci 200, h4350 (43.4 grains), 140 berger h vld @2835fps.
Forming loads were shot out to 700yds at times with h4831sc and bergers as the rifle seemed to like that more than h4350 in forming. Once all brass was formed tried h4350 again and it all came together. I have been trimming with a 3 way head on powered rcbs teimmer, annealing every firing so not to have to keep track, full length size with redding bushing dies then running through a mandrel die before cleaning, priming and loading again.
This last weekend I met up with @PanhandlePilgrim and we were shooting out to 1300 yards, have done most shooting with this one out to 900 with great results trying to focus more on cold bore hits in different terrain.
