I have a 16" but I've never swapped it.  The 22" 260 and 20" 7.62 are running too well.

Out with the old and in with the new! These new HDMR/DMR Gen II scopes are fantastic for the money. Optical quality is slightly below the Razor, but I'll take that in return for a much shorter and lighter scope. Shaved 1lb 5oz switching over, and it is very noticeable. Went with the H59 reticle, going to zero this weekend and then take it for a spin at the local match.

D3- At the bottom of THIS POST you show Hornady factory 130 MV's.
They appear to slow down over time. I thought barrels speed up over time?
Do you have one sheet showing all your data for just these factory rounds?

I should have some MV data tomorrow from a fresh barrel.

I have a shit ton of data, just not necessarily consolidated.  Don't look to far into the MVs as I did not include temps and atmospheric data.  Hot day could be speedy, mildly hot day with huge humidity is slower.

1st time shooting this rifle as a .260. Once dialed in I shot some of my best groups ever.
Hopefully I can repeat it on another range trip. 
I shot suppressed and unsuppressed. MV on both were similar 2730-2745 with one (target 4) unsuppressed averaging 2761.
Target 6 (last target) suppressed-dunno what happened.

When I was shooting at Q over the weekend there was a former SF guy who swore the Regiment was going to the 6.5CM.  I just smiled and kept shooting the .260.

Reason for Editing - Bad math.

I'll started a new thread before I should have looked and posted here.....did anyone capture velocity differences between 18" and 22" with same load? I see MV of 130gr ELDs around 2775fps out of 22" at sea level, but can find the 18" comparable.
Just let them try.........

Yes, we have a data point with the H130's but it was with a new barrel that had not been broken in.  I'll look it up and post it later.

Any chance of just selling the 6.5 barrels with barrel nut?

Had a great weekend.
I won the 3 gun match and got 3rd on the long range.
More data attained on the 130 TMK load I developed for my 260.
Shot a couple 5 shot 100 yard groups to get mv data. .64" and .82" is what I got. 2884 fps average with an sd of 7. Last time I tested this load I got 2902fps average but it was warmer and later in the day with a hot gun and ammo. Dope was still dead nuts on.
We shot out to 1220 yards on Sunday and the 260 performed flawlessly. I will take it out to a mile next trip out.
I did take some photos but will have to post later from my CPU as they are appearing to be to large to use directly from my phone.
I am so use to wind and a 175 SMK that I am struggling with the wind on this skinny bullet. I have a bad habit of holding too much and not trusting my dope. I have not got used to it yet.
Also played with the sig 2400 lrf this weekend. They are nice. Also got to use my Radius lrf mounted on my rifle out past 1000. I used it as an aiming laser with my nvgs Saturday night as well. It works pretty damn good in scan mode. Stay tuned for pics.

Sarcasm? I can't tell. The tobr was touted as a system that could change barrels. A few years later it's strange that I still can't just buy a barrel to fulfill my wants.
