[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1198477, member: 90453"] .020" freebore is not much on a .260. You are going to be seating the heavies pretty deep, crunching powder. .06" is about as low as I would go. I had my rem 700 built into a competition rifle with a 28" Bartlein #9 and .220" freebore and a .296" neck. Shooting Sierra 142 match kings with .035" jump I am 2.910" coal, could feed out of the mag if I got an extended box installed. I wanted to wring every last bit I could out of my gun so I went a little crazy figuring my freebore. I even had my brother CAD my dummy rounds and chamber. I can load up to 46.6 g of 4831 sc before I am compressing loads. Right now I am shooting 45.6g h4831 and getting 2880-2890 fps with .3-.4" 5 shot groups at 100 yards. I could probably get them tighter if I shot with a rear bag but I can't use one in competition so I don't practice with one. I have a HS precisio psv-096 stock, very similar to the ones Remington puts on the mil spec 5r rifles and I love it. No raised cheek piece, but a wide fore end and decent palm swell.

Have another shoot on Saturday and hope to be in the winners circle again. [/QUOTE]
