Re: 260 123amax VS 140..
Mike, because you do not know too many characteristics about the poster's gun, brass, bullet coating, throat, lands, seating depth, barrel length, bolt face, altitude, ambient temperature you cannot intelligently call him a liar.

The problem, Casey, is his "one off" rifle is neither the norm or repeatable. Don't you think if it was a common configuration for a tactical rifle EVERYONE would be shooting it? The next question is it even physically possible due to case capacity, etc.?
If I say my Porsche 911 went 300,000 miles with only oil changes are you going to believe me? Do you believe that is normal or repeatable in every 911? Just because it may happen once does not mean it's possible to repeat, or worthwhile information to disseminate?</span>
And if he were being disingenuous, who cares?

I do. Because if he's wrong(and I'm convinced he is) then someone trying to learn the truth is going go get incorrect information and there is a potential for someone getting hurt.

In an Lr308 with a 25" 6.5x47L chambered Krieger and RL17, 123 Scenar I achieved 3100 with no evidence on the case of excessive pressure. And it was an accurate load.

Chronographs lie but why not trust another shooter's claim? Those of us who doubt others are ourselves doubtful, generally.

Why not trust another shooter's claim? So we're supposed to throw logic, or established information or information gathered from experience to the side just because a shooter "said so"? And BTW, I'm not even going to address your insult other than If would like to bring my integrity into question, we can discuss it face to face.</span>
