[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 170469, member: 8843"] The web site in my signature box is for a member here that has does my smithing work when I don't have access to the machines. His name here is "308nate" and he does some awsome work. If punching paper at long range is your quest then I'd vote for the 260 Rem or the improved version , it'll give you better barrel life , a huge selection of great target bullets for long range work and a few good varmint bullets. I'm not a big fan of the .257 bore cause of th limited selection of bullets for good LR work , but some guys love it and have good results with it I just feel their are better choices out their. I went with the regular tight chambered 260 over the Ackley improved version so I don't have to worry about any fire forming issues of loss of barrel life. I use 243 Lapua brass and neck it up in one step with a tapered expander then load and fire no problem. I'm getting 2800fps range with 140gr class match bullets. [/QUOTE]
