Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting .260 gets a boost.

My old GA Precision Crusader .260 just made a return trip complete with a brand new Bartlein MTU, 27" 5R, 1-8.5" Chambered for 6.5 SAUM. I've been testing the 140gr JLK with pretty good results. After 300 rounds, the barrel is at max speed, and producing 3225-3240fps with a good dose of H1000, Remington cases, and Tula LRM primers. Using a G1 BC of .670 the load matches up real close to JBM calcs.



This was from a few days ago, four at 500M. I knew they were tight from the rifle, but it's always nice to walk up on a string like this! With a 200M zero, I had 1.8 mils dialed.

I took it out to 1100M this morning before the wind got too violent...results to follow!
