    Gunsmithing .260 match reamer question

    I found the lands by sizing a case and loading a bullet long and trying it, then seating it another couple of thou until the bolt would finally lock up with practically no force. I use sharpie on the bullet when I start getting close and can see when it is in contact with the lands from the...

    140gr Nosler Custom Comp.

    yeah, i'm not happy with it... Ill just have to have my smith (Me) fix it... I used a match reamer from elk ridge. I wonder if I should just get a standard .260 reamer and try to lengthen the throat or try to use a throating reamer?

    Range Report 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore

    Re: 6.5x47 vs 260 and 6.5creedmore I understand how similar all of these cartridges are as far as general performance, but I am wondering if perhaps one might pull ahead of the group when you are using an 18"-20" barrel. Perhaps with the right powder in each they are still neck and neck, but...
