256 Win Mag loads
« on: June 10, 2006, 08:08:27 PM »
Anyone have some good loads for the 256 Win Mag and 75gr + bullets.  These will be fired in a 26" 12 twist barrel.  Thanks.

Ron,

I'd like to try some lil'Gun and some RL-7 if I can find data.  I've got some data for the 4227's, WW296, 2400,  H-110, and 1680.  Also, if I can get my hands on an older manual I will try some WW680 since I have a few pounds.  Will be fired in a rifle as opposed to a pistol.  If you know of any "pet loads" I'm all ears.  I imagine a 75gr V-Max going 2500-2600fps at  the muzzle should smack an ole coyote fairly well...but I ramble.  Thanks.
