Hey Terry any luck with those mag primers?

Haven't loaded them yet. Won't have dies until April. Just trying to get a head start planning. Thanks for the starting point though.

Benchmark in 260 AI ? Think H4350........RE17.......RE19......H4831sc

BM way too fast..........

Actually if you are sending 85gr Sierra HP and 95gr Vmax's down the pipe, Benchmark is pretty sweet, in fact 3700 FPS of sweetness.

You can even add another 100+ FPS if you use Varget or CFE 223, with those same bullets in a 260AI over Benchmark.

I have some 4350 & 140's. I have the 85's, 90's 95's & 100's to test as the varmint load. The dies won't get here for a month unless I stumble across some. Varget used to be on every store shelf until I started looking for it.

So every trip has me looking for 260 dies, varget and large rifle primers.

I am not a religious man, but I just might start to be, I walk in to my favorite mom and pop gun place today, hey Dean I got one of each left If you want them there yours,

what what do you have one of each left

Varget and primers

Dave that's not funny please don't toy with me,

no here they are,

so I walk out with an 8 pounder of Varget and 1000 large rifle primer for $250.00 tax included,

at the very least it was a religious experience.
