I've looked through the posts to find any loads for a PB 260 grain RNFP bullet for my Pedersoli Sharps in 40-65 and so far haven't been able to gleen much. Kinda hoping someone can give me their final load so I can work up to it. Also I'm a newbie to cast and I am getting the impression that some where around 1500 fps is about optimun for a plain bullet (no GC). Is this right? I haven't got out the chrono to check velocities but I seem to be getting decent accuracy for minute of deer. I've only tried IMR4198 and I'm getting about 1 1/2", five shot group at 75 yds. If anyone has had some experience with this bullet/cartridge combination I'd appeciate any info they care to give. Also any other bullet that one has found to be a good hunting bullet for the cartridge would also be welcome. Thanks.
