Just worked up a load for my .260AI with the new 143grn settled on a powder weight and was checking with differant seating depths and was surprised at the difference.
Shot best at 5 thou off the lands the others were about 1.5 to 2 inch groups.

Touchy little beasts in your rifle then aye! Promising though :thumbsup:
Looks great
Looks good, did you chrony and get speed?
Hmmm ..... 5 thou leaves very little room for error, and the 1.5 - 2 in sound like they're really fussy pills. Perhaps the old 140 AMAX's with the "melting tips" were better !! :wtfsmilie:
I will be hopefully trying some in my 260 ackley tomorrow if conditions are right.
Only changed seating depth from my pet Amax load but still at .308 mag length. They can be seated further out if needed and I will use the LA mag.

We need a few members to go out & shoot a few animals with them, see if they live up to the hype & work.
Off for my roar hunt with them on the 8th so all going well I may get to try them.
I'm going to get a box this week and see how they go, I need to re-do loads for my .260 anyway since I have a new powder lot so I may as well switch to these now instead of when I burn through my last 500-600 amax
You might as well give me those 5-600 Amax then
Dont listen to him @gimp he's got shit loads already. Other needy peeps out there :thumbsup:
Bet me to it.Quote:

Tried some of these this morning.
Velocity was only 10 fps faster than average. Atomospherics imo. Very low pressure.
Shot as good if not better than the Amax group wise, but POI was over 1.5 inches left and half an inch lower.
Pretty happy with that as they are seated to my short mag length and thought they might be fussy.
Haven't got time to muck around re-zeroing so I will be using my other projectiles up before I bother using these this winter.

I'm feeling pretty confident they'll shoot as good as Amax's in my swede. @gimp what powder are you changing to?
still 2209, just a new jug and a new production lot so want to re-check loads
Shot good in my 6.5 5 shots touching at 100 yards 2700fps dead stag at around 300 yards
