I am working up 2 different loads, 2 different powders. Win 760 for my 260 and BLC2 for the 308. Did it all by the book, started low and worked up to the max in the book. Looking for accuracy before anything else. Picked the best group out of both rounds, tried both powders in each rifle, using 120 gr nosler in the 260 and 165 in the 308. All set... 43 gr of 760 in the 260 and 46.5 of blc2 in the 308. Weighed each load out during the testing, now to make some ammo to sight the rifles in knowing that the groups are all under MOA. Loaded up the 260 stuff and started on the 308...all ready to use the powder measure for the 308 after it was set up for the 260...lets see where the blc2 will fall, throw a charge and weigh it...46.5 !!! checked and rechecked it still came out the same each time...too good to be true?? I'll take it.

That is one lucky coincidence! Make life a little easier.

Indeed a happy, fortunate coincidence! I once had a pre-64 Win. M70 Featherweight in .308 that would put my "service" load consisting of 51.5 grains of H380 with the 165 grain Nosler Partition (MV 2800 FPS) and my cast plinking/practice load using the Lyman .31141HP @ 1800 FPS into the same group @ 100 yards. I thought this was also pretty fortunate and unusual! Never had to rezero when switching from one load to the other.
