Also remember that loading for ultimate precision and top velocity aren't the same thing. So while you could "make up" the velocity by loading hotter that may not be your top accuracy load. No matter how hot you load it will be faster in a longer barrel. Everything is a trade off so what is most important to you...... </div></div>

True, BUT it might be close. </div></div>

I honestly see no difference in accuracy from 2700 fps to 2900 fps with 140's in my .260. Limiting factor is case head expansion and primer pocket life.

That is SMOKING fast...

Care to share load data? </div></div> I'll post it later today, don't have my information with me currently. Also, no pressure signs in hot Arizona summer. </div></div>OAL 2.785(I think), Super performance 50.5gr, Rem .260 brass 123gr SMK

I went with a 24" barrel on my .260 build.
