[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1777735, member: 109476"] I have a Savage 16 stainless 260 with the box magazine. I have no problem, seating 140 gr bullets to the base of the case neck & still fit in the magazine. 1/8 twist & will almost shoot one hole three shot groups. This is a hunting rifle. If I wanted a competitive target rifle it would be a single shot with a custom chamber throat-ed for a specific bullet. Depending on bullet weight the 260 is 70 to 100 fps faster than my buddies CM. No practical difference in the hunting field but the 260 is faster. As for brass "ALL" of my 260 brass is made from dirt cheap once fired 308. One pass thru the FL sizer: Load & shoot. No neck turning or trimming like the CM requires. As for factory ammo , all you want on line, like most of the other stuff most of us order. At your finger tips. [/QUOTE]
