[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 1125469, member: 28381"] My 260 Rem. does just what you describe. The action just came back from MCR a couple weeks ago. Bedded it into a Greybull stock I had in the corner of the shop and loaded some rounds to work up to Kevin's recommendation. As of yesterday, 40 rounds have been through the barrel. The best shooting, lowest SD/ES, no pressure signs, so far, is one tenth of a grain under that recommendation. The load is running the Berger 140 at about 2820 fps through a 28" 1/8 twist barrel. Not only is she accurate but has a light recoil. When I put the Muscle brake back on her, there is almost no recoil - a big plus for my getting my wife to shoot. Plus the 260 is less expensive to feed, approximately 42+ grains, when compared to the 7mm RM in the safe, using almost 70 grains of powder. . [/QUOTE]
