Ammo issues, the factory ammo all shot minute-of-bucket. We're working to overcome that, as you see progress is being made. |

Interesting. Revers building barrels to shoot a particular factory ammo.
Why the 260 over the 6.5 CM? Was this discussed anywhere already? |

View Quote I'd call that some serious progress. Doesn't get much better than that. Given your creedmoor comment, I wonder if those targets are a different kind of 260.... It actually doesn't say on the target what it is. Hmmm....

Amazing! Those are shooting better than the custom 6.5 wildcat that I've been holding onto only because of how accurate it is. You may have just rendered that a useless endeavor. If I can do the same thing out of my favorite rifle, well then....

Safe assumption you're using the Corbon Performance Match 138 grain load?
Or have they whipped up something even better for you? |

Reasonably priced (for .260) and the most accurate ammo out of my bolt gun (which unfortunately, sucks with anything else). I've got a bunch of Prime ammo. I actually really like their stuff as I believe they use Norma components and I've had fantastic results using Norma in both my 5.56 and 7.62 Larue rifles. I am about to put in an order for some 260 and 6.5CM. Don't have rifles for either yet, but I've been stocking up on components for reloading both. Need a good baseline with factory ammo first. |

View Quote Mike, I am using both Norma and Lapua brass in my 260. There is a noticeable difference in the brass. The Lapua has much thicker walls as is evidenced when I turned the necks. It is also noticeably easier to size the Norma brass. I am not speculating on the longevity of one over the other. I am still collecting data on velocity, SD, ES and accuracy using the different brass. So far I don't have enough data to show a measurable difference. I am seriously considering selling a couple guns to fund a Tobr. The release of a 260 and targets like those have just fueled that desire! |

All my brass for 260 reloading is Lapua and Remington. The Norma will just be from factory loads at first. Definitely interested in seeing how the Norma brass does over time. Their 223 and 308 has been excellent in both factory and reload settings. |

I might have missed it, but what made the decision between 260 rem and 6.5 creedmoor?
ETA: aaaand reverse reading through this thread answers it. disregard. |

I have an 18" PredOBR in .308 that I love. I am in the market for a .260, this barrel would be ideal.
Would there be a possibility for a pre-order? |
