Happy to be here
I have been working up a load with my Remington Model Seven .260. It has a 20" barrel. I have tried Hornady 140 gr. Interlock with a max charge of 46 gr of H4831sc and am only getting around 2500 FPS. I then tried 130 gr. Nosler Accubond with 46.1 gr of H4831sc and getting 2550 FPS. I am working up a load for deer and I'm wondering if this is suitable for whitetail out to 300 yards. I'm running about 200 FPS less than advertised velocities. Should I try a different powder for more speed or substitute the lower speed for accuracy. The 130 accubond is showing great accuracy, but I am stuck at the 2550 speed.
