    UPDATE: Would you shoot in the rain AND 20-30MPH winds @600yds?

    Actually, asking the original op who started the thread, (JGorski) never stated the caliber, bullet, unless I missed it. Thanks for the input though. I run a .260 also. 123 scenars, RL17, with a light wind, 142 sierra's H4350, with a windy day, like yesterday at the match. We have a 1k, 600...

    243 vs the 260 Rem

    I recently went with the 260, it will do everything you want it to. As said above, you could downsize some 308, upsize 243 if needed but Lapua 260 brass is available.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle crown pic--Question

    Re: Muzzle crown pic--Question Lack of accuracy is the major concern, and I was equating that somewhat with the funky looking residue on the crown. But due to the posts here, it got my head off a one rail track to the other varibles I was not thinking of, ie, different powder wts, different...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle crown pic--Question

    Re: Muzzle crown pic--Question You are correct, I was focused on a proven load that did work, in another barrel. I'll load up some more in small increments with varget, and another powder and give them a shot, with the chrony. Sometimes one (me) can get fixated on something that worked, then...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle crown pic--Question

    Re: Muzzle crown pic--Question Muzzle is actually clean and smooth. Had a hard time catching the light right for the pics, didn't want to wipe the fuzz off to keep the residue on the end. It's a proven load, at least in my other 308's. Rings are steel, torqued on scope and to base. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Muzzle crown pic--Question

    Re: Muzzle crown pic--Question Trust me, there is no rust on the muzzle. Lint, fuzz, etc. from the rifle case is all thats there. I treat my weapons very well, thank you. Tried the qtip test, no snags, pulls, etc.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle crown pic--Question

    Seems to me in the past on the crown there was residue on the crown where the grooves ended at the muzzle, not all around as in the pic. New bartlien .308 barrel. Reason I ask is I can't get it to shoot a solid tight group (pic) 100 yds. Handload, 168 sie, 42.0 varget, gm210m, lapua case, 100rds...

    Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM

    Re: Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM Gentlemen,, thanks for all the input. I have decided on getting a manners with a mini chassis. I feel it will fit my needs better than other options. May have another barreled action in the future needing a stock, which the chassis would fit the bill just...

    Re: Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM Here's another log on the fire,, what about the AICS line of stocks? Similar to a mini chassis in the way the action rests?

    Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM

    Re: Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM This is a tough decision,,, Manners, Mcmillan with a badger, surgeon, etc dbm, bedding Manners with a mini chassis About the same money for either An HS precision pss stock with a dbm couple of hundred bucks cheaper damn,,,,

    Threaded vs Non threaded barrel

    I was just wondering if a threaded barrel's accuracy is any worse or better than a non threaded. Having a new barrel put on my rifle and thought of getting it threaded barrel,for possible suppressor use. Never owned a threaded bolt action rifle. Thanks

    Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM

    Re: Manners-DBM Mini Chassis vs. DBM A little addition the the original question. Would a HS Precision PSS stock with a DBM work okay? Just for game, paper punching, and a little Fclass for fun. Reason I ask, job will be gone in a year or two, so looking at the best ecomomy also. Thanks

    308-260 rebarreling opinions needed

    308-260 rebarreling opinions needed

    Re: 308-260 rebarreling opinions needed addendum to mix: have a supply of H4895-Varget-and RL15 from my highpower, 223, 308 days. How's the barrel life of a 260 compared to .308? Did some research but found a large variable of life spans. Agree on the stock change, had a M40 once and like...
