260 Rem velocities

[Mechman]

What is everyone getting with there 260 Rem's? What's your barrel length and velocities you're getting? Please include what projectile and twist rate.

My next build plan is 260 Rem and curious of velocities.

Man. I need to get a new bolt. The primer hole is oversized on my old Rem 721. Can’t get over 2650 without seeing flow around the firing pin and hole. You guys are making me jealous. I do want to build a 18-20”. That’s why I’m asking.

Mine is an AR. Not a bolt gun.

I run mine slower than most do because I like the extra barrel life of very much in excess of 3500 rounds. I run mine at a cool and very consistent 2750 FPS.
