Mark, do you plan on selling the custom load ammo in the picture when the rifle is available?
Got my 260 22" on pre-order as of last week . . .going to look good next to my PredatOBR 5.56. |

I ordered the 18" and have been questioning my choice. This puts my mind at ease I guess because both ones will be able to shoot better than I can anyway
Were these shots suppressed? |

Hoping to push the 260 enough to bring ammo pricing down out of the stratosphere.

Hornady makes excellent ammunition for the 6.5 CM. On line in bulk it can be had for a dollar a box more than FGMM .308. It would be great if Hornady would produce a lower priced round for the .260 with an AMAX bullet. That might cut the price of good .260 ammo in half.

Been looking at the .260, and i'm gonna have to reload this one. significant savings to be had. at least until prices come down.

How does FGMM compare to that ABM in 260? I just bought a case of FGMM w/ SMK142 gr and hope the fact that you guys are not using it in 260 is not a bad sign...
It is for my bolt gun that I had made in anticipation of 260 barrel cartridges for my tOBR coming available someday??? |

I ordered a 22" also...after much debate with myself over 18 or 22"...
Hey Mark...any chance you get your shootist to run through this "futzing" a few more times to expand on the data? |

Anything else is barbaric. Yes, er, uh, Si, via TranQuilo. Has all the testing been primarily suppressed? Is there any results posted unsuppressed? I would like to see some comparisons of the two if not to much trouble. If this has been posted please point me in the right direction. I currently do not own any suppressors for rifles. I hope to resolve this soon. Thanks. |

I think I'm finally going to have to buy a LaRue rifle now that the 260's are coming out. I just picked up a lightweight hunting rifle in 260 and a heavy bolt gun in 6.5. Might as well add to the collection.
