[QUOTE="RandyinVa, post: 1201506, member: 8049"] After researching everything I could find on the .260 Ackly, i got past the doom and gloom reports of not worth the trouble, etc. and built a first class one. Today, my gunsmith fired in front of me a 3 shot .268 group at about 3025 fps over a 30 inch MTU barrel. Load was 45.6 H4350, starting to show some strain on the primer. Used Federal 210 Match.The gun was tested with 44.6 to 45.6 grains, all very small and seating depth was not real important from way out to way in, Settled on .030 out to avoid unnecessary forces. Berger 140 Hybrids all the way. Will notify you when I take a groundhog at 1500 yards. Case life will be fine and after 50 rounds, not a single streak of brass has been found in my Brux barrel, Remind me why I have so much money in Bench guns! Careful with your loads, work up slowly so I don't feel bad trying to copy my load. [/QUOTE]
