Anybody tried a 260 in a DPMS platform? I have wanted a LR308 for awhile as well as something in a 260. So I decided to build one and satisfy both wants. Used an 80% lower I had and ordered a McGowen Semi-HBAR barrel. Still waiting to get to the range and do a barrel break-in. Once that is done I am going to have to come up with a load for it. I'm thinking Berger VLD Hunting in either 130 or 140. This will be my first experience with both the rifle and the caliber. Plan on using it hunting even though it comes in at 10 pounds.
Hope it works well for you. My .260 weighs 10 pounds and it is a bolt. The weight is no big deal. I like the 130-grain weight of bullets, as I am not a mega-range shooter and the rifle is for deer. I think that bullet weight is the right balance for that caliber.
