What load are you using?
And where’d you find pistol data for the .260?

For the 10th Groupers, Ed Cavanaugh made the Bowie knife and the tomahawk.

What kind of terminal ballistics are you expecting at 500 (+) yds from a .260 (120/140 gr.?) fired from what appears to be the 14.5" barrel?
|
Based upon what other people are achieving with the exact same gun, I should get 2500fps with the existing barrel. In antelope country, I hunt at about 5000 feet elevation. Using high BC bullets of about 120 grains, I will have an impact velocity of about 1800 fps and a little less than 900 ft# of energy. Antelope are really fragile boned so you do not have to have a lot of bone crushing power.
If the existing barrel does not have enough accuracy for such a shot or the twist is too slow to stabilize the bullets, I will rebarrel to a longer barrel and faster twist that will give me a lot more velocity.

Most people use Varget in the 260 but it is scarce and I need all of it for F-class matches. I have some IMR 4064 that is not immediately needed and so I will work with it. People have been reporting very good results with Reloader 17 in 308 sized cases and it can be found in stores so I might give it a try also. The problem component at the moment is Federal primers.
The older XP -100 single shoot actions were simply designated Remington 600 actions. The XP-100R (repeater versions) are Remington model 7 actions.

Yes it is. I bought it from a friend back in '80 when I was in 2/325 for $20.00. The tip was broken and the sheath and leather on the handle were not in that great of shape but I didn't care. I don't think he knew what he really had. It has all of the 5th Grp Vietnam and Crest stamps in good condition.

I finally just went stark raving crazy from all of the snow and could not take any more of being inside so I went to the range. Snow was still about 2 feet deep to wade out and set up the target but it was better than staying at home. I pressure tested some loads for the XP-100R in 260 Rem.
The recoil is really strange. It is more barrel flip than recoil.

The snow causes a lot of glare for the camera so the video quality is not too good.

You have to go all the way back to the first posts in this thread to get the "guidance". Babes aren't part of the equation unless they're the ones posting and it's their firearms. (FWIW - Some of the lady members are well armed - they're just discrete/ladylike enough not to rub our noses in the fact.) HTH.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
