I gave a recipe in your 15 Jan inquiry for 129gr Hornadys.

There are no flies on 6.5s!

Work up to 47 grains of R19 or you could work up to 46 grains of Ramshot Hunter.

try H4350 or H4831sc

I cant wait for the 130 gr Nosler Accubond to come out so I can switch to it in my custom 260. Ive been using 130 gr Barnes TSX and they work great but pretty expensive for deer hunting!

Here is what I am currently using with the 125 partition.

Rem Brass
Fed Gm210M primers
48.5 gns H-4831 or H-4831sc if you prefer
You will have to find the OAL that suits your rifle best.

Runs 2840 fps average and is more than accurate for what I do with it.

Drop down a couple of grains and slowly work up.

Here is a link to Hodgdon 260 Data

http://www.hodgdon.com/data/rifle/260rem.php

Grab a Nosler #5 Manual if you can and others for comparisions on what you are looking at loading.

Good luck
