260 Rem quickload info

[Wigwam]

Testing my new to me MK II compact tomarrow so I'm interested in what quickload says about the load I'm using.
140 gr Speer hot core
Hornady brass
IMR 4350 41 gr
CCI 200 primer
Barrel 16.5 in.

Thanks

Did you take that data from the latest SPEER loading manual, number 14?

And so it goes...

No.13 starting load. I'm assuming the velocity will be 150 fps or so lower.
If they group at 50 yards I'll be happy with 2300 to 2400. I'm going to chronograph them.
Just wondering what quickload says. I won't bother upping the charge for what I'll use the rifle for.

Shot it today and it's just what I'm looking for.
50 meter group was 1.5 in for 3 shots with a ghost ring peep.
Chronograph at 2438 fps which is about 80 fps lower then Speer's test rifle for that load.
