thanks for the reply rick,went through the whole thing,found one person using 27.5,but he's not sure about pressure..another using 24.5 @ 2100 and that won't work..i was hoping to narrow the starting load because the range is 2hours each way..looks like cfe and call it a day..appreciate your time..s/s

les baer,,frankly i've not found anything,factory or handloads,that comes close to the groups i see in this forum..frustrating as this was to be my deer rifle this year.i'm going to try 100 ttsx,,if they won't group reasonably well i'll try to source an AA,satern,etc. in a grendel chamber..regards,s/s

Did you guys see this thread:

Drifter got a really nice group at 200yds with the 129gr SST on top of AR-Comp. I have 600 SST's, so I'll either find a load for the Grendel or the .260 Rem, or both.

appreciate the heads up..will try that this fri.,fallback is the 100 ttsx get here next week..still hoping for sst,if not you'll have 680 of them to work with..regards,,s/s

Really interested I this. I have the same components ready to go. Just afraid of how much to load. Any ideas for a 16"??? I'm no match shooter. Jut 3 and under for deer here in southeast Missouri.

I did a little development a while ago with 8208 but didn't get results I was happy with. I have some more test loads ready to go but I haven't been back to the range with them. What I have loaded is 27.0 - 27.6 grains by .2 grain increments.

May give it a try. Already bought the stuff. Might as well
