Load for: 260 rem 100gr Sierra Varminter????

Re: Load for: 260 rem 100gr Sierra Varminter????

Of course work up to this load! Freindly disclaimer.

43.5 grains Benchmark and a 95 grain Hornady V-Max is deadly accurate in three 260's I have. Caution! Wear protective clothing, blood will be everywhere! :)

I use 46.0gr of Ramshot Hunter under Hornady 95gr V-Max. This is about a min load. I use it as a 200yd FV200 comp load, but it'll also do a number on a Varmint.

Ramshot lists their Big Game powder for this bullet, 40.5gr min, 45.0gr max.

All my bolt 260's are 1/9. Cooper Phonex shoots 1 hole groups at 100 with this load. My trued Remington 700 shoots clovers, and my DPMS (1/8) shots mainly clovers with one going 3/8 to 1/2 out every now and then. All these are shooting the same OAL. Needless to say, the simplicity of this was a welcome occurence!
