I should have mentioned that Hodgdon's on- line load data show a load for the 95 grain .260 bullet that pairs up nicely with the 90 and 100 grainers in .25 cal. I have had some very good results with Hodgdon Benchmark and the sierra 100 gn gk's. The velocities are close to my 25-06 with the same bullet. The primers look unused except for the dimple in the middle. It seems that Benchmark and this cartridge really like each other. Action strength on my rifle is pretty good(sako L579) and SAAMI specs seem like reasonable guidelines for this rig. By the way, what should the case length be for this cartridge? The load manuals go all the way from 2.015(308) 2.045(243) and 2.035(7mm-08) I trimmed all my resized 7mm-08 brass to 2.030 and split the difference. The old rule about when all else fails, guess!
