Reloading .260

I have loaded my .260 with 140 Berger VLD, Sierra 142MK, and 139 Lapua Scenars. I attended a long range shooting school and the rifle performed great. I fired the 139 Lapua Scenars with IMR4350 Powder. I was able to hit targets consistently out to 1260 yards. I want to have more range time with the sierras and bergers. However, the lapuas are at 1moa or less at a 100 yards.
 
I have 2 260s Im in the lands I have shot 5 shots at 1000yd 3.8 in with imr 4350 40.7 grain fed 210m 142 mk 4.1 with 140 amax they shot them better then berger for me the barrel is a shilen I have shot that barrel out haven't shot the new one much yet shoots great a 100 yd so far got 2400 rounds out of old barrel speed around 2840 at 26 in built a 28 in working on it too one is fclass the outher benchrest
 
This thread has been an interesting read. Last season I replaced one CBI barrel with another of supposedly identical design, but realized that my freebore was a bit short after everything was in the action. My competition season starts in a week, leaving me with little recourse but to seat my Hornady 140's deeper into the neck than desired so I can keep a 2.20" BTO and stay off the lands by about .020".
