    leathel,

    Yup, you are right there- if you have the psi behind the projectile, it will move. When I do the trials again I'll post results here.

    I'm hoping that the firing pin-bolt interface is not the culprit. I should also purchase a set of .260 headspace gauges.

    Cheers,

    Linz

    140 amax and 2209, start at about 43gr and work your way up

    Not to hijack the thread, but I am shooting 140 Amax with 2209 in a gas 6.5 creedmoor and was just reading about the different powder options here, I am getting quite slow speeds and pressure at 42.5 does anybody know if it is ok for me to use v1000 or h1000 or anything else that might get me better speeds, I am only getting 2640 out of a 24" tube.

    I got talking to 2 different target shooters at last years Sika show, they both shot 260 rem, they both told me that 210's were too hot for the 260 rem, and to use cci 200's or br2's.

    Ive just tested cci 200's back to back with 210's that i had previously used. The 200's shot far tighter groups. Im sold. H414 powder.

    I was told something sort of similar. I used to use federal primers and shot acceptable groups.

    I gave the CCI a go on advice and I have shot some ridiculous groups changing nothing but the primer.

    I don't know why or how a primer can be too hot for the .260 but the results speak for themselves.
    Its worth a crack Andy😆

    I will have to dig into the bowels of the reloading cabinets and see what's floating around in the bottom!
