I managed to trade into an Factory LMT .260 Remington 1X9 20 inch Barrel, I am curious to hear from anyone that really has one of these barrels. What kind of accuracy are you getting, with what weight bullets, and what powder are you using, any other information would also be welcome.
 
I've got the 20" .260 barrel. Mine is pretty darn accurate. Pics!

Here's the first ten shots out of it. The problem I had with these particular reloads is that I didn't put enough powder to completely cycle the action. They extracted and ejected, just didn't pick up the next round or lock the bolt back.

Nice group, which bullets, and powder did you use, and have you found a load with that powder, and bullets that is close to being that accurate, that fully functions your rifle.

This load is:

120gr AMax
43.9 gr Varget
Remington 9 1/2 LRP
Rando .308 brass sized down

I haven't found a load yet, but I'm switching powders to H4350, bullets to the 123 Lapua Scenars, and I've recently had surgery. As soon as the recovery is complete, I'll be able to post up again about this.

Thank you for the information, I wish you a very quick recovery.
