Have Two 260 barrels (one currently installed), both shoot great. Nothing wrong with the cartridge. It’s not good a pushing 140-142gr bullets fast, does best at 120-130gr.I've a .260 Rem, 1 in 8, but not a gain twist.
Shoots less than stellar. By quite a lot.
Switching cartridges based on this experience.
How about yourself?

I have been thinking about a build on a .260 rem. Was just wondering if the gain twist barrels are worth a try.
m I killed two Mule deer and a nice Whitetailo buck last year with my 260. I shoot 100grain Noslers BtI built two 260's this past year. Both were 1-in-9 twist and are hunting rifles. They shoot the 140 grain bullets pretty good at 100 yards in spite of the recommendation of 1-in-8 twist for that weight. Probably wont do too good at 400 and out, but drop deer in their tracks closer. It's funny, they both shoot the 140's better, group wise, at 100 than the 120's. Haven't tried any 130's yet.
to accomplish what?
