[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1211678, member: 95235"] Thanks for the thoughts guys. I know there are no absolute right answers to these questions. I may just need to find a bunch of load data for the 260 and its AI cousin and see what I can extrapolate. Wood, I am getting the impression that 26" may be the standard for this round. That is what Terry Cross runs in his tac. set up in the article on 6mmbr. As for bullets, your point is valid, but do to time limitations, simplicity, and maybe a touch of laziness I just run the the heaviest bullet my guns like a call it good. 168 berger in my 7 rem mag, 115 berger in my 25-06... There may be better ways to skin a cat, but a 115 berger out of 25-06 does a good enough job for me :-) Mike, When I say "target" I am thinking popping steel not tiny bench rest groups. Of course I want to make the gun I set up as accurate as possible, but there are always trade offs, right? This will be a gun to carry in the field as well. Am I correct in assuming that the muzzle pressure issues that you are referring to are more applicable to extreme accuracy for competition or am I misinterpreting? Chris [/QUOTE]
