Hi fellas!
Been a member for a while now but haven't got around to post anything until now.
I have a Rem 700 that I rebarreled a year ago from 308 to 260 and I'm getting (what I can tell) extreme velocities that kinda kicks 6,5-284 in the *** but maybe you guys can spread some light over what's doable and whats not.
Using the Hornady 140 grains SST along with 45 grains of Norma MRP gives me a velocity of 2919,95 f/s which sounds pretty high in my world, what do you more experienced 260-shooters think?
To add some details... The chamber is tight, real tight! The go-gauge fits precisely so that will probably hide some of the preassure signs. I do get some light marks on the brass from the boltface but nothing else, not one sign of preassure on the primers.
