I just received a 22" 260 that I plan on using in tactical matches (specifically the 24hr Sniper Adventure Challenge). I went for a bit shorter barrel to save on weight, and I am aware that it will limit or perhaps prevent me from reaching 2900fps. I am wondering now if I should shoot some of the lighter 6.5 bullets to get higher velocities, or the heavies to get the higher BC.
The other question I have is about powders: In this match I will be shooting at elevations from 5000' to 7600' asl, as well as in temperatures ranging from 60* to 100*. Which powder do you recommend (in combination with your recommended bullet) that has temperature stability as well as a burn rate that will get me the velocities I need?
Thank you for your help,
Cory
