+1 I have the LMT .260 barrel, and it does well with the 130 Berger Hybrids and 130 Hornady ELDs. The only problem is that LMT used a 1-9 twist in their .260 barrels and favored the 6.5 CM with a 1-8 twist. The 1-9 won't stabilize the 140s and up, although it is passable on occasion with the...

FWIW, my 16" C.L. MWS does very well with M80 and hot 147-150 gr. military loads, sometimes grouping below 1MOA, but pretty consistently under 1.5 MOA. It's a solid 1 MOA or better with FGGM 168s and Black Hills 168s, but not so well with any 175gr. or 155gr. match ammo that I've tried. I've...

I agree with horrifying read. Demonstrates that the lockdowns and other draconian measures were ineffective and did more harm than good - just like most of the untested vaccines Fauci approved over the years, just to get rich and increase his influence. For more about the global scamdemic...

I started my load development with 110gr VMAXs and Varmageddons, with some 110gr Tac-TXs for special occasions. Now I'm working with the 125gr SMKs, TMKs and Speer TNTs looking for better accuracy. Are you saying these are not good defense choices?

I've been an F-1 fan since watching the movie Grand Prix back in 1967. I quit keeping up with it for several years while working too much, but I picked it back up around 2010. I've always liked the Red Bull team and became a fan of Vettel because he was in his prime and also worked with...

Still there tonight... FYI I picked up a box of 1,000 CCIs 450s at the local Bass Pro Shop for about the same price last weekend.

FWIW, I'm getting 2,665fps from Black Hills 139gr Scenars in 260REM in my 20" LMT MWS that clock 2,755fps out of my 23" GAP bolt gun. That works out to about 30fps per inch change for the 3" difference in barrel length. The LMT 260 is a 1-9 twist unlike their 6.5CM, so I'm stuck with the 130gr...

I shoot 260 Rem in both a bolt gun and an LMT MWS gas gun. Unfortunately MWS built their .260 with a 1-9 twist 20" 5R barrel, so I'm stuck with using the shorter bullets. The two most accurate so far have been both the 130 gr Hornady ELD-M and the Berger Hybrid-Tactical factory loads. I have...

My favorite was always her role in The Perils of Gwendoline. They just don't make movies like that anymore.

Me too!

Will do! Cool video.

Well I can still see the reticles, usually two of them and two bullseyes, but that should clear up after cataract surgery next month. I get to the range every two or three weeks, more often when work is light. I still shoot respectable groups from the bench and enjoy plinking with ARs and...

I'm about three years into self-employed part-time work, thanks to being laid off four years ahead of planned retirement due to a company sell out. I finally have time to build the reloading bench and gun room I planned to build 15 years ago when we...

Lots of good advice so far. I do like to golf - my .260 makes those balls do crazy things! No kids, but a nephew that goes to the range with me a lot and helped me build my first homemade AR-15 a month after the layoff. He is big into shooting and offered to help build out the gun room. He...

I'm about three years into self-employed part-time work, thanks to being laid off four years ahead of planned retirement due to a company sell out. I finally have time to build the reloading bench and gun room I planned to build 15 years ago when we bought our current home. But now I'm thinking...

I was thinking about having the barrel of my 260 cut down and rechambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, when the throat erosion makes groups open up too much. Particularly since Hornady and Berger seem to get more velocity out of it with somewhat less case capacity. However, my 260 can still shoot...

I'm disposing of some old H4350 at the rate of 43.2 grains a time in my .260 Rem. Smokeless powder lasts a long time, and if it doesn't smell bad, it's probably still good. Mine (about 15 years old) is still giving single digit ESs, although the faded out $15.95 LGS stickers on top make me a...

That's great, and I'm glad the guys at LMT finally caught on that the .260 should come with an 8 twist! Got mine a couple of years back and it's hampered by the 9 twist. Limits me to 130 gr loads or poor BCs with heavier bullets. It works real well with 130 gr Berger AR Hybrids and Hornady...

You're exactly right. The "Sierra 168 MK has a unique dynamic instability that prevents it from flying at long ranges" according to Bryan Litz in Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shooting and should be avoided for long range applications. It's great to 600 yards and may or may not make 1,000...

I'm in Chattanooga and remember one 1,000-yard range and also a tactical type range being in north Georgia, maybe 6 or 7 years ago. The tactical range used to have a website, but I haven't been able to locate either one on the internet recently myself and lost the directions. All of my 1,000...
