[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 73219, member: 8843"] Cowboy maybe you could give Shawn Carlock a ring he shoots the 260 Rem in tactical sniper comps. look for a post called "IDAHO STATE SNIPER CHAMPIONSHIP" Its on the second page in the Long range hunting forum. If you look at the reloding logs the 260 is barely 100fps behind the 6.5-284 and generaly the velocity of the 260 is quoted from a 24" barrel where the 6.5-284 is from a 26" I'm thinking about goign the standard 260 route and shooting the 123gr Lapua Scenar bullets , with a BC of .547 and being launched at say 3000fps that should make for a flat shooting rig. you would have to be shooting a 190gr MAtchKing at 3000+ fps to match that , which is basicaly like shooting the 190gr SMK out of a 300Winmag with a stout load. For the brass I'd use Lapua 308 , its cheap and way better quality than anything else out their. It should be a simple matter of running the brass through a 7-08 neck sizer then the FL 260 die , you may even be able to make it by just running it intot he FL 260 die with good lube. [/QUOTE]
