[QUOTE="nowler, post: 73345, member: 2305"] hi cowboy i have a 260rem tube on my AI. it has a 30" barrel and i am getting over 2900 with the 142 smk's. this is shagging the cases though so i intend to back off a little, and am moving from 4831sc to rel 19 instead. i have not had thid baby past 600yet, but it was holding it's own against the 6.5-284 guys at the last competition over 300, 500 and 600yards. i went the 243lapua route and expanded up and neck turned. i have a 290neck chamber and have had no donut problems at all. you have to go a fair ways into the shoulder to do avoif the donut appearing though. my advice would be a stragiht 260 for what you want to use it for..... cheers derek [/QUOTE]
