[QUOTE="pressman, post: 314447, member: 10980"] hello and welcome to the forum their is many well knowledgeable people on here. 2 months ago i just got my fully custom 260 it is a MAK tube frame stock with a brunx 26" stainless interrupted fluting with a DE Brake bought from shawn Carlock. top off with a 5.5 X 22 X 56 Night Force scope i just got back from Wyoming where all i did was shoot and learn to read the wind. My gun loves 139 lapua but it really like the 140 Amax. i was shooting 1400 yards with it. i hit the 1200 yard target 8 out of 10 time and that was crossing 2 valleys with different wind. now for the loads info you requested i just bought 500 new remington brass and compared it to some nosler. You don't have to prep the nosler before loading but for the price after i resized the remington you can not tell what brass i am shooting at the range. I use a redding comp die to as a bullet seating die. and it is expensive but it really works nice and I only plan to buy one. i full length resized the fist time with the new Remington brass but after i fired it through my gun i will neck size. the power i use is H4350 42. gr with the 139 and the 140 it is 2701 fps out of my gun. H1000 really shoots well but i did not have time for a lot of testing with it before i went to Wyoming. now that i am back i will test it some more. i was getting 2750 fps with no sign of pressure and my sd was in the single digits like 5 or so. so i will probably switch to h1000 if things continue. good luck with your gun and ask question this is the place to find the answers.
