My biggest want right now. Almost traded into a 6.5 ruger precision rifle but I'm holding out for a 260 barrel like you wouldn't believe.

Looks good enough for production to me, please make these available before I do something stupid and buy a 6.5 Ruger Precision..

Speaking of ruger precision rifles. I think one would look sweet as hell with a 13.2 larue on it..... So someone should def try it.

Mark, my 18" OBR heavy hasn't gotten any love since my 16" 7.62 tOBR showed up. A .260 barrel for the OBR would really help spice things back up.
|
|
|
Beautimus! I do need to bring up the fact that I need another caliber option or two for my 5.56 PredatOBR family *cough*cough*...
So I know the .260 is associated with the 7.62 kit but is it possible to also adapt it to a 5.56 based platform? |

It may not be your manufacturing process, might be your shooter. If you send me one I will see if I can tighten up those groups.

Ya know, come to think of it, as a production rifle maker consuming barrels made for itself in-house, we just may have quietly snuck in and taken the title of most accurate production black rifle company in the category of "makes it's own barrels"

I bought some 175gr Berger Tactical Match bullets but haven't loaded them yet. Bryan Litz claims that the Hybrids are supposed to be less affected by jump compared to the VLD's with the secant ogive. That will be part of the fun of working up a load for the 260 in the tOBR, seeing what works. Gives me more trigger time, and time in my Man-Cave loading rounds. |

That 175 SMK load length is exactly what my load is. (I'd have to check my notes, but that number seems familiar.) Litz and Berger claim that the hybrids jump better than the VLD's but I didn't have great results loading the 140's to mag length. Like you say, just playing with a load and trying to find something magical that your rifle likes is the fun part of hand loading. Shooting great is the reward for all the head banging on the reloading bench |

That's the first thing I tested after velocity. I've found very good tolerance to jumping from .006", .015", .030", .045", and .060" . . . I'm running them at 2770fps with an ES of 10fps. I haven't tried the 130 hybrids, but they are a mighty exciting possibility. **ETA** I tested the different jumps because then I can load up to the same OAL, regardless of how much throat burns out. |

I think this is great. I would love to see a 6.5 variant of some sort in the tOBR lineup. I would certainly buy one if the barrel is long enough to get the benefit of the cartridge.
What type of velocity are you seeing ? Any reason .260 Rem is being selected over 6.5CM ? I would imagine the larger community would benefit from 6.5CM simply because of the cost of factory match ammo. All of the 6.5CM factory ammo I have seen has the 140 AMAX. I do agree the new Berger 130 AR Hybrid is probably the ticket. That bullet has scary good ballistics. In a short barrel application, I would imagine it would lose less velocity than the "heavy" 139/140 class pills. For others, below is the link from Berger with the announcement: http://www.bergerbullets.com/new-65-130gr-ar-hybrid-otm-tactical/ |
