260 Remington reloading

I finially got my mauser back from the gunsmith with a new shilen barrel. I'm anxious to get to the range and check it out. My problem is that i can't find any reloading data for a Nosler AccuBond 130 bullet. I've checked at the local Idaho Stores, newest reloading manuals and manuals that I own as well as articles about the 260 Rem. I decided to use the data for 120 grain Noslers and reduce the powder one (1) grain from the minimun charge. I believe I'll use W 760 powder and CCI 200 primers. This load will be for mule deer and possibly elk. Hunting season for deer and elk is damn near here, so I'm anxious. Freedyf

Thanks Joe: It was a great help, now I'm sure I'm in the ballpark on where to start reloading. That pretty nifty how his loads are listed. I was able to find loads for most all other weight bullets, but evidently the Nosler 130 grain bullet is very new. There is a chance I may get to use this for elk as well as deer. Sincerely Freedyf
