sounds good to me....free stuff is always a plus especially if it is a manners stock.....SAAAWWWEEETTTTTT!!!!! if at first you don't succeed..........relod anybody on here have any ideas for a stock for a krieger #10 6BR/Stiller P1000???? I have it all on order and will be chambered at...

fantastic story and info you dished out and a very good read. ironically i just went to the range this past weekend and tested out my krieger 260 1-8 and got exactly the same results you had only i tested them at 100 yds. i typically load test at that range with my 308 and 260 and find that...

cpt academy, yes the load for the 123 and the 140s is for H-4350, for some reason my gun likes 43.0 for both and i am guessing that it will do the same with the 140 brgrs. I just got the new load book in from berger and 43.0 is just under max so it will work just fine for bergers as well. It...

jt, just saw your message and sorry i didnt get back to you sooner but been busy, deer season has kept me occupied :) gun is awesome, how does it shoot? do you liike the vortex, i think they are the most underrated scope on the market right now. i have a caldwell on my 308 and 260 and though it...

cpt academy, sounds like you got those 130s shooting awesome! that's cool, if you try those 123s from lapua both a buddy and I shoot 43.0 at 2.800 with cci 200s and they one hole at 100 and get about 3" at 500 (depending on operator :) but they come out of my gun at 2888 avg and are smoking. i...

gerryb, also wanted to just mention to try a COL of 2.800 with those bullets you want to try. depending on your throat will make a huge difference in seating depth and much like the 308 the 260 performs equally or better WRT accuracy with stout pressure. i find a slight jam of .015 typically...

Ron, No prob, just looked at your thread there and the powder is H4350, i might have typed it wrong, good luck with the 260 rem brass, would like to know how it performs. pretty interesting as i was testing loads for my 5R 308 and the difference between the lapua brass and the winchester brass...

gerryb, just saw ur post about scoping ur gun and that nightforce is a great scope but might i recomend the 8.5x25x50 MK4 by leupold with M1 knobs. Don't get me wrong the nightforce is a great scope by all means but the MKIV leupold is just as good or perhaps better depending what you are...

Ron, I actually just got done testing some loads with 140 AMAX and 43.0 of H4350 does the trick. I have not done anything with the bergers yet but have a box of them (140 VLDs) sitting on my reloading bench ready to go. The 140 AMAX shot about 1/2 inch group at 100 with 3/5 stuffed inside...

also, WRT to RL17, i tried RL19 just cause i had it and got VERY good groups with it, however, much to the same chatter i have seem about its temp issues i won't use it. the gentlemen that posted the temp vs velocity graph for the 308 is spot on and that is some awesome tech info. my 308 is...

Justin, saw your note on the sierra load book and i have that same book but i tend not to use sierra load data much and particuarly like nosler with the info they give i.e. most accurate load and best load info. sierra i find tends to be VERY conservative WRT max loads and they heavily favor...

i forgot to ask, which 260 did you pick up?? You mentioned you picked another one up. Just curious, ttyl

i just got a new 260 as well and i totally hear yah about waiting for it, boy the wait really sucks but man is it worth it when yo have the right hands doing the work on a good gun. i just tried RL19 for my break in loads and shot from the hip with a middle of the road load just for break in...

jtkratcer, i had PRK done and right now i have about 20/30 in both and as they heal i beleive they will true up to about 20/15 in each. it is awesome not having to get up in the morning and not have to worry about glasses or contacts. just need a few more days so my eyes can adjust. past couple...

jtkratzer, sorry man i just had refractive eye surgery monday and it has been a little hard to see the computer screen :) 2.875 was a typo and i shot the first 20 rounds at 2.785 just to polish the throat. they were simply break in loads and krieger barrels come through with pretty tight...
