Best Hodgdon powders for 260 Rem
What would be the best Hodgdon powders for loading my 260 Rem with the constraint of 2.9" OAL?

H414 has worked well in my 260 with 120gr Sierra ProHunters


30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

With the light weight bullets my gun likes H4895, for 120 grains and heavier it likes H4350.

The best accuracy I have obtained in both my .260s and 100-120 grain bullets has been with W760/H414.
