260 barrel for AT
- Thread starter gun-ho
- Start date
I picked mine up from mile high, give them a call. Just finished load development and am more than pleased with the results of the barrel I was provided.
You could call AINA. They might have a 26" in stock. You could also get nearly any reputable Smith to spin one up for you.
I can't say enough great things about Mile high. I got a 26" .260 barrel for my AX, (I think they are the same for AT as well). They also had Lapua brass, 500 Berger 140gr hybrid target bullets and an 8lb can of IMR 4350. Got the first 100 loaded and ready for when the BEAST arrives.
Well I just received my 6CM barrel from OTM. I have been real impressed with it. Robert Gradous is working his magic on them.
I am going to do a write up on it have only put 20 RDS down the tube. I was a little hot on my load but it was shooting well.
If any one needs a barrel hit up Mark or Robert at OTM.
They have barrels ready to go.

gun-ho, it's a 24" Bartlein chambered by Dave Tooley for AINA. I believe they are the 8.5 twist. Running 43.5gr Accurate 4350 with the 139 Lapua Scenars seated 0.015" off the lands. When I ran them over the chronograph they averaged 2811 fps at 105 degrees with no pressure signs.
Thanks a lot! Do you think that extra 2 inch length is necessary? Seems velocity loss is only about 30 to 40 fps from what I learned
I don't feel handicapped at all with the 24" barrel, my target speed for the scenars was 2800 and honestly I wasn't sure if I would hit it, but was more than pleased to see that it was able to reach that mark. I almost was tempted to go 22" as I run a suppressor on this rifle.
Another vote for an AINA (Bartlein) 260 barrel. That is what is on my AX and it is just amazingly accurate. Like shooting a laser accurate. I believe that is what Mile High sells.

Mine is just the standard AI contour. I dont know if Mile High offer other contours.
Just ordered it from mile high. Thanks for the info! So far got 139 scenar and lapua brass ready. What dies would you recommend?
Redding type S for a sizing die and a Forster ultra micrometer adjust seating die are my fovorites.
I shoot the same bullet and powder but mine likes them .030" off the lands best so see what yours likes best.
I've really become partial to the Forster Full length size die used with their ultra micrometer seating die vs the Reddings I have traditionally used.
