Man, you make me sick....
Only reason for a 1/8 twist is....... if it can seat a 140 Berger in the magazine and kiss the lands. Let us know...
Otherwise cut and crown at 22" and rechamber to a Creedmore.
Sorry, I will work on being better. I did not think this would make you sick.

Try 130 gr bergers in it! I have never loaded a different bullet in my .260. Plenty good and faster then expected.
P.S. forget what everyone says about powder also , if you can find Reloder 17 for your .260 use it!

Soooo many comments come to mind.... 1. "So what's ya gunna do wif' 'dat Willis?"2. "That ain't no elk gun son..."3. "Where's the Hello Kitty sticker or did Remington rip you off on that too?"4. "It's sorta cute, where do I put the BB's in?"5. "Special purpose? Special what? Maybe Special Ed...."6. "Frick, 'dem boo-lets 'ill jus' bounce of 'dem elkskins..."7. "You've come along way Pilgrim, from 338 Ultra Mags and now to Peashooters"And lastly, "You ain't huntin' with the Indian carrying THAT little thing!

I am ashamed.
I bought a box of Barnes TSX 120s today to try in my Rem 725 reblled with a 700 TI takeoff. Now that it has 200 or so rounds down the bbbl.
And those 140 Corelokts are shooting (and working!) so well....
Just checking...dontcha know.... L)

and here are a few of us out here who have a Rem VLS in 260, that they couldn't give away....I even bought a take off barrel brand new off of one.... local gunshop was picking them up cheap, spinning the barrels off, putting something else on them, and then they would sell...
got that new take off barrel for $50.....
by the way, mine will stabilize 140 and 142 Match Kings just fine, but 120 Match Kings I feed it more of...that along with 100 grain A Maxes, 100 gr Ballistic Tips and 120 grain Ballistic Tips..

To be sure, these SPSs are blued, not stainless, right? The GB photos are stockhotos but show SS.

Blued. The adds generally say it is not the actual gun.

Afternoon time there was a SPS 260 Stainless/Synthetic, must have been an error on buds? Oh well thought I would give a head up if it helped, but the stainless 260 is elusive.
