I don't load for the 260. But if I were faced with your situation, I would look at Accurate 5744 or Hodgdon H4895.

Been out of IHMSA for a long time but did have a rear grip XP100 in 260. Someone suggested 32 grains of H4895 with a 140 grain bullet when the gun was brand new. Got a 40 on the first round with friends giving me sight settings. It chronoed 2100 or 2150. That's all I have..Tim ...a very old 45128
