Have not done any load development with this weight bullet. I was at 47g with the 140 on the nosler cases and just stuck the 130 on the same load on a lapua case as a starting point and just like that it shot smaller groups at the longer ranges. I am thinking that its good as it is so why play...

since the last range trip I have changed the scope on the rifle so today I zeroed it at 100 and then went to 400 and using the corrections that I had in my book from the other scope I got center hits then went to 700 again using the book and got center hits again so the scopes both gave the same...

here are my necks. 3 pictures are: a fired case, loaded case and neck thickness of brass after sizing it down (7-08 to 260)

I can not afford $1 per case so what's the best alternative? What would be the best mil brass to use? Thanks
