260 Precision load recipe thread

You will find a lot of loads in the thread I linked above. My best load in my CTR is:

Lapua brass
CCI BR2
140 Berger Hybrid
43.5 H4350
2.90 coal

I loaded some with 43.8 of H4350 and had great accuracy and no pressure signs.

Zeroed my T3X CTR 20" with Prime ammo.  0.75" best 5 shot group.

I've found that in my 20" .260 Tikka CTR that any 139 - 142gr bullet behind 42.0gr H4350 loaded to 2.800" shoots sub moa.  Granted they are a little slow at just under 2600 fps but damn accurate.
