260 Remington

Mountain rifle? There's mountains in Oklahoma?

I've had great luck with the Sierra 130 GK and H4350. Worked great for coyotes, deer, and elk.

I made a few loads with the 4064 and 130s and saw about 100f/s loss compared to my H4350. I picked up a few lbs for about $10 so figured it was worth a shot. Groups were nearly the same as my other loads. Not really worth the loss in speed for me. Def. a good substitute if you can't get H4350.

Good to know. Could not find any of the "perfectly match" powder (H4350) so I went with the IMR 4064. I'm only shooting less than 200 yards with thermal at night so don't think the hogs will feel 100 FPS lost, lol. Thanks again for your input Boomstick, much appreciated!

All great here!

I would add the 120g Nosler BT and the 125g Nosler partition.

6.5's are amazing.
