Anyone have any experience with Nexus .260? I found some range pickups after MDM range day and was thinking maybe Mark was shooting them, but I've not heard of anyone shooting them. A guy on the Hide has primed Nexus brass for sale at 0.70 a case (loaded rounds that he pulled and emptied.

You thinking that the BTO with the flatline wont fit in the Tobr chamber?
I was hoping that it wouldnt be too constrained, it might fit mag length but then there is a bad jump or compressed powder or a combo of less than ideal parameters. It would be so cool if it would work in the tobr. |

I am interested to see just how long those dogs are. L - R = Nosler 123 CC; Warner FL; Berger 130 OTM; Norma 130 GT; H130 ELDM; Sierra 130 TMK; Lapue 130 Scenar; Barnes 140; Nosler 140 RDF; H120 HPBT; Sierra 140 HPBT; Sierra 142 MK and H147 ELDM. Pay attention to some of those factory meplats. WFL length vs Nosler 140 RDF A quick ogive measurement: A sacrificial FL dummy loaded to 2.880: A FL loaded to 2.800 by a Hornady 130 ELDM that is probably 2.790, and showing possible length in the case that could compress the charge: Sacrificial FL has a ring from the stem, I need to see if I have a VLD stem. |

How does the BTO compare between the ELDM 130 and the Flatline, is the Flatline shorter/deeper or longer?
I am approx 2.148 BTO on a 130 AR Hybrid 2.145 BTO on a 130 ELDM factory 2.179 BTO on a 130 Prime factory |

Alright guys,it has been a long journey to getting my 260 ready to shoot long range,I'm down to the final component in the process----scope mount.
So far i have the 260 tobr with a 22" barrel and a 18" barrel,2 cases of hornady eld and 2 cases of prime,along with a nightforce 5-25 atacr with a moar -t reticle. So I'm thinking on a tobr i would want a 20moa mount? What do you guys think? My boss has a gravel pit where we can stretch it's legs out to 12-1300 yards. I'm currently looking around my spare parts bin as i thought i had a obr mount in 34mm extra but im not sure that is the best mount for this setup. Also noticed that eurooptic has Barrett bors systems at close out pricing around 50% off so maybe a bors system? The only drawback i see to bors is the Barrett mount,all my other guns sport larue qd's Any input from the seasoned 260 guys? Thanks Pete |
