I just might be able to order some powders from Germany...

Specifically for the .260 Remington:

Am thinking of ordering some of the following:

H-4350
Reloader 15
Reloader 22

Anything else?

This thread has some discussion of powders for light vs heavy bullets.

Afy varget would be a good one to try if you can get it.

Hodgdon BenchMark for the lighter weight bullets in .260 Rem.

H4350, R19, and R22 have covered everything from 100-142 gr bullets in my 260s. H4831 would be another choice IMO.

Afy,

The Reloader 15 is really too fast of a powder for the .260, but the other two powders are fine. Since you are in Europe, VihtaVouri powders should be readily available, and I would suggest N160, which is what I currently use in my 6.5x55 F Class rifle.

Don I do have VV it is what I have been using. But am having trouble developing good loads. I cant get my groups to bug hole... but am getting 5 shout sub MOA as long as I am paying attention to what I am doing.

Have been using N150/550 primarily. Am thinking of trying out some N133 and 540 .

It seems EU law changed recently and now it is illegal to carry powder across borders without tying your self into knots.

i think that barrell length needs to be added to this equation. i shoot 7mm08 in a remmy model 7, with slow powder i get a huge muzzle flash, i have started to use lower bullet wieght faster powder
