Also, give RL19 a whirl, if thats the longer throated reamer (with a gentler half cone angle) you should be allright up into 45.5-46 grains.


George built two .260's for me at the same time and I'm just waiting for a scope for the other one witch is a lightweight rifle, very simalar to my "Edge" stocked .308.
Both chambers were cut with minimum freebore...2.800 COAL is .010 off and 2.820 COAL is .010 in with both the 123gr scenar and the 139gr scenar. From looking at the throat with my borescope it is apparent he used a gentle slope angled reamer to finish the throat. That should allow me some peace of mind if I feel I need to get into the rifling. In almost all of the shooting I've done with various Lapua bullets,(scenars) I've found they shoot very well "jumped".

Luck....is the residue of design...
