Lol, I just finished planting the flowers in the yard! Now time for a shower and then dinner.
Good point! But I am looking forward to a nice steak tonight.
Give Andrea our love, been shoveling dirt all day myself...
Absolutely I'm certain it will duplicate. We have load data and the barrel has shown over and over it can shoot with the pack any day.
I've always had good luck in any 260AI barrel with 44gr H4831 to fire form and somewhere right around 48gr H4831 for formed, under any 139-142 grain bullet.
I agree. 47.5 gr. of H-4831 is the ticket with that bullet weight in my rifle with Lapua brass. Probably could go up to 48.0 gr. but accuracy is best at 47.5 gr. Terry Cross was loading 48.5 gr. in his rifle back a few years but he was using Remington brass.
My last barrel really liked 48gr H4831 and 140 in lapua brass, dropped to 47.5 in Peterson brass.
I'll bet he was tossing the brass after four or five cycles.
It's a pretty good article from here on the site. Lot's of cool info. I enjoyed reading it.
You should be able to get 3/8 and better with a good load @ 3000 fps easy. My rifle consistently shoots both the 140 gr. Berger L R & 142 gr. Sierra MK equally well at around 1/4 MOA. @ 100 yds.
More boiler room, AND, trimming brass is a once-in-a-blue-moon deal. Can't beat that!
You can still shoot that load fire forming, too.
Yep time to hit the road and get those new builds no doubt.
