I have a Savage model 12 long range precision, chambered in 260 Remington. I am thinking about rebarreling the rifle this coming fall. I am thinking, that for my particular rifle, a 260 Ackley improved would probably make more sense. I have a bunch of 260 brass from Lapua, that could fire form pretty easily into the Ackley improved. What I am curious about, is the accuracy and velocity comparison between the two calibers. Another thing I was considering with 260 AI, is possibly getting the 308 Lapua brass with small primer pockets, and necking them down to the 260, then fire forming them into the Ackley improved, giving me a small primer 260 Ackley improved case. Something I thought I would experiment with.
Am I on the right track with this idea?
