[QUOTE="mike33, post: 248222, member: 14195"] Thanks silvertip, yes i played with the 25's for years 250 classics opened up to improved cut barrel to 20" with no vel lost. Now i picked up this 260 3 years ago that wouldnt shoot. Factory ammo was actually 3" group at 100 yards. So i started playing: trigger, bedding, and of course handloading. I wanted to prove i could get the gun to shoot 1" and 3000 fps with nosler 100 gr. bt. I reached my goal with it and sometimes have to let the barrel cool a little on third shot to keep the group. I actually got 3/4" couple times but have a consistant 1" overall. My load is 50 gr. win. 760. I have killed 4 deer in md. and pa. and they didn't move out of there tracks. I am very happy with the 6.5 but would like to see 33-3400 if possible with the 100 gr. bullet for long range hunting practices. I still would like to stay at 22" if i need 24" i have 2 - 257whby's to choose from. I am very impressed with the 6.5, should i stay with the 10 twist. Mike [/QUOTE]
