Quintus6.5 creedmoor
I am wondering if creedmoor and 260 Rem load data are close or interchangeable?

rcamugliaIt'll be close.
I shoot a Creedmoor and have loaded RL-17 and Win 760.
The Hodgdon website has data for their powders. I can help with the RL.
Which powder and bullet?
Bullet COAL (max) Powder Grains Primer Velocity PSI
120gr Amax 2.820″ H4350 43.5 LrgR 3020 fps under
60,000
140gr Amax 2.820″ H4350 41.2 LrgR 2820 fps under
60,000
The new cartridge looks speedy on paper. Hornady claims its factory-loaded 6.5 Creedmoor ammo will deliver 3,020 fps with the 120gr Amax and 2,820 fps with the 140gr Amax from a 28″ barrel. Those velocities are at the extreme high end of what we’ve seen a 6.5×47 Lapua deliver with 123gr and

A 260 will also get you that in a 28" bbl. My 260ai easily hits that w/ a 27"bbl.
fredj338;
i can almost get that in my Ruger M-77 .260 rem. with. a 22" barrel with W-760. but i dont like the accurace, I get better accurace with 42 grs of RL-15 at 2920 fps with a 120 sierra sp with .850 groups

QuintusI am actually looking at shooting 100 grain partitions and or 120 grain B-Tips. I load my 260s with H414 and with 48 grains from a 22 inch BBl I'm getting a shade over 3200 fps.with the partition and .9" @ 100yrds. I am considering a self loader in the Creedmoor with a 24 inch tube.
