.260 Rem & Sierra 85gr Bullets

[Vartarg]

I'm working up loads for my .260 Rem, using the Sierra 85gr bullet....for coyotes in particular.

I've tried Varget and wasn't too impressed. The Sierra data doesn't include some of the powders I'd like to try, e.g. what I have on hand in good quantity. Hodgdon's online site only goes down to the 95 grain bullet.

Has anyone worked with Benchmark, IMR8208 or H4895 with this combination?

Many thanks!

George

I've loaded the lighter 70s with 4895. I bet 4895 will do a good job.

I forgot to mention. Use the Sierra Manual.
