SW Ammo was a company that made some great match ammo in various calibers. They ended up in a lawsuit and were basically unable to recover. Started taking orders they never fulfilled and have basically just closed up shop and ran with a bunch of peoples money. This goes back a few years, but their site just recently vanished. They used to pop up every few months and claim they were so close to finishing peoples orders, but nothing ever materialized. They had a good product though with tons of demand. |

My first experience with SW Ammo was about 3 years ago when i purchase a bunch of once fired local range brass from them. Their shop was only a few miles from my house so i jst went down and picked it up and got a cash discount. They showed me around their small shop (no real store front, just a business strip center small office space) and in the back where they made the "Golden" ammo was very basic. They had 4 Dillon 650 presses cranking out rounds. They gave me a couple of boxes of 7.62 loaded with the 175 SMK's new Winchester brass and they told me they were loaded with H4895. They wouldnt elaborate on pirmer (gold color possibly Federal) or hwa rpowder charge was. I shot most of them in my old Winchester heavy bbl bolt gun and they shot very well < .5 MOA at 100 & 200 yds. I had i think 10 rds left and when I got my 18" 7.62 tOBR those were the ones that I luckily shot a 3 rd group of < .2" at 100 yds. Frank over at Snipers Hide did a video shooting the stuff out to 6 or 700 yds and had good things to say about it. That is when the orders probably started rolling in. Their ammo was nothing special. Think about how FGMM ammo can shoot so well in a variety of different rifles and barrel lengths, the same with SW ammo. I think if you have the right recipe (optimal charge weight and velocity with consistant neck tension) you can have a winner. I am a reloader and as a reloader, we are always tinkering with the load trying to get thaterfect load, and whenwe do we stick with it. Think about it, SW ammo was semi mass producing match ammo on Dillon progressive presses the same as FEderal does, and here i am weighing every powder charge! Oh well, it is my hobby. So i need (want) a 260 barrel so i can keep tinkering with a different cartridge

Their recipe was nothing special, but their ability to reproduce results are what stood out compared to most factory ammo. Anybody who reloads has the ability to do it, given they have the proper tools. But time is money and many want to be able to just order what they want. |

A .260 barrel would be a suitable replacement to my Lothar Walther PredatOBR barrel... then I would actually have a legit Larue barrel on it, finally.

It would be pretty cool to see a Tobr get into the top 10 of the MOA Challenge. Even more so if it were a 260. The first non 223 in the SPR division is a DPMS at #9.

I also saw where my second entry was nocked down to 13th!  I have this mental thing about being in the top ten. I would like to put another in the top 10, preferably a non 223. The two I would like to work on are 260 and 6.5G. The more I shoot my 260 the more I am liking it. My DPMS LR-10 might make the bottom 10.

According to Julie, I got the first one that shipped (order #25192). When I contacted Larue later, asking about my match grade replacement, they said my rifle shipped with the LW barrel and not eligible. It shoots ok, but not what I was expecting. Oh well, still want a .260 barrel, though. |

My DPMS LR-10 might make the bottom 10.This weekends range trip will be with the intention of improving the 308 tOBR entry. Though according to weather reports it looks like it'll be done in the rain. I'm extremely tempted to try it with a 308 Tar too, but since it may be sold I'm holding off on dirtying it up. I'm begging a friend to let me try it with his 6.5cm Ruger precision rifle too.
Might have to look into putting together a 6.5G. It's just... The barrel I want is so expensive that it'll mean no assembly for a few weeks while I save up the funds. |

Who you got in mind for the barrel? I ordered a Satern a couple years ago and they seem to have never finished it, plus they've had their fair share of issues with the Grendel chambering. I couldn't wait anymore so I bought the Brownells 18 and 24 since they were in stock and ready to ship. I'm so happy with the 18 that I've never tried the 24.Wish LaRue would offer Grendel barrels. |

Interesting focus with the factory ammo for a 260. Match grade 308 ammo is relatively cheap, but match grade 260 is typically expensive, relatively speaking. Prime makes sense due to the cheaper cost, but I'd imagine most would be hand loading for that beast.
When are these projected to launch? I'm looking to get a 6 or 6.5 variant for matches, and this looks like a very good option. I'm assuming a 22 or 24" version could be available? I don't have a LaRue rifle yet, numerous parts, but this could be the first one. |

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v501/defender3va/DSC_0564_zpsfh0kfcb8.jpg Do you already have a rifle that shoots 260 REM? I almost bought some of the LAPUA 260 REM brass when it was on sale at Midway, but there was the discussion of half the peeps want 6.5 Creedmoor and the other half want 260 REM. I know Mark has been experimenting with the 260 REM as obvious from the two separate threads but I am still on hold. Mark, should I go ahead and get some brass-n-bullets to start loading up? |

I do not have a .260, but I'm hedging my bets for when my tOBR heavy arrives in a few weeks.
If a 6.5 barrel isn't envisioned, I'm going to have a Kreiger made for the tOBR. |

Wtb 260 or 6.5! I will be placing an order for my P'tobr 7.62 for my next big LT purchase. That will allow me to change my rifle system to a 260! I have thought on this for awhile. I do not reload any longer so taking on a new caliber is something I do not do on a whim. I am sold on the 260. Just my opinion not putting down the other rounds mentioned. The Ptobr platform will do perfectly for this barrel coming from LT some time soon. Hopefully.

Wtb 260 or 6.5! The damn things started shooting too tight of groups to measure, so we reversed the twist about 3/4ths the way down to open them back up enough to separate the occasional bullet.

I'm having a hard time finding that caliber option on LT.com. You got a link for me? I'd like to get one for a antelope hunt I've got coming this fall. |

There needs to be a hyperventilating smiley. I'm dying to shoot one. Been sitting on so many reloading components for months now. |

They really did make some good stuff, when it actually was made. Who was SW and what happened ? ETA - Who in this thread has a 7.62 PredatOBR ? I'll buy a complete one if it gets me in on a 260. Seriously. I'm going to buy one to go with my lepe can anyway. FYI, I have a 14.5" 7.62 tOBR now. IJS....
