[QUOTE="Santiam338, post: 1218715, member: 87532"] I am running a 26 inch Shilen Select Match, 1 in 8 twist.. I put a Legacy clip that gives me a little more room for bullet seating..It is also a single stack and that really helps with feeding.. 47.3 gr IMR 4831 with Fed LR primers.. Powder was hard to come by when I had it built and IMR 4831 was about the only viable powder I could find.. Now that other powders are available I haven't looked because this load shoots GOOD.. No problems with fireforming..I shoot a light load of RE 17 with 123 Amaxes for that and even those shoot very well.. Lapua 260 brass and I can't seem to wear it out,so there is not all that much fireforming to do.. I already had a short action for the build so didn't consider a long action. My brother also has a 260 Ack built on a Winchester short action shooting 143 ELDX's with no problems either.. My 260AI in action..
