260 Remington loads with Varget

Post by njjessee »

Picked up some Varget yesterday and was curious if folks would share some of their favorite loads for 107/108's and 139/142's for 260 Remington.

Thanks,

Noah

That is just a couple grains more than I stuff in my 6.5 x 47 for both loads. Where did you find some Varget?

Yup and that is one of the reasons if I was starting from scratch I would create a 6.5x47 rifles instead of 260. But for the amount of highpower we get here, it is not work the investment.

36 grains for 2775 fps with the 107/108s.

The same load for 2650 fps with the 139 Scenar.

Those out of an 8-twist 26" barrel.

The eagles and coyotes were "happy, happy, happy" with us.
I'll be in Casper and Douglas on 7/11, how much Varget do you want?
