[Wiley]

I have 150 Nosler Partition .264 140gr that I want to load in .260 Remington. Anybody have a good load for that bullet weight/caliber?

Lots of reading there on 260 loads

I don't have exact numbers, but safest bet is to start at the minimum load in a reputable reloading manual and work up slowly. Always watch for pressure signs and go conservative with the first few rounds.

I don't remember the charge weight off the top of my head, but I had good luck with both H4831 and H4350 in mine. I will dig around and see if I can find my notes.

I don't have a 140 gr load, but i do have two others that may help you.
1- 120gr Nosler Spitzer, Remington 91/2 primer, 43.5 gr IMR4350, seated depth 0.20, Remington brass, group at 100 yards .300.
2- Hornady 129gr SST, Remington 9-1/2 primer, 42.5 gr IMR4831, seated depth 0.20, Remington brass, group at 100 yards .620.
I don't know your reloading experience but I would have to add: These loads were taken out of Nosler and Hornady reloading data books. Start with the minimum listed loads and build up from there using caution. Seating deoth is the distance from the bullet to the rifling in the chamber. Look for pressure signs. Seating depth affects pressure. Good luck and hope this helps.

H4350 seems to be the most used in what I've found in my limited research. I've read that it's very insensitive to temperature changes which is a plus. I think I'm gonna do some powder shopping today.

Daddy had a Sako 260 that shot Bugholes with H414

I do remember that it was faster than the 4831.

Don't have any in 140 but have several in 120, 125, and 129 if you want those.

Thanks but I have these 140gr in hand and will only be loading them in this session. Heading out for some H4350 that's in stock at a mom and pop store in a little while.

I got several boxes of Nosler Accubonds in 140. Had to buy the whole lot to get what I wanted so they are available.

I went on a 75 mile round trip and picked up a pound of H4350 today for $60 after 5% discount and tax. I could have driven only 16 miles round trip and bought it but.....
