Build a 223AI to the same specs as your whatever rifle and shoot [bleep] out of it.
Or just buy a few barrels in whatever caliber your whatever rifle is going to be and have it re-tubed every few years.
I also don't get the 260 comparison to the 280AI, but then I don't get a lot of things posted on the 'Fire.

Poor coyote!
Looks like a great load with no vertical, Pat
Details?

Went out with a pal who just picked up a brand new .260 from his builder to test some loads. We shot at 710 yards, 1050 and 1170. It was 30*F and calm when we started. He was shooting the same load I shoot in my GAP Crusader, 130gr VLD's at 3000fps. There was a fair breeze blowing, but steady when I shot those shots on the steel coyote. I was holding 1.5 mils right for drift.
I would love to see the weather like this for our shoot up here in April.

Thinking hard about the 140 VLD for the Creedmoor.
No problems jumping them?

Both the 130's and 140's jump fine in both of my .260's. Personally, I like the 130's better in cases with 43-46 grs of capacity. The gain in speed makes up for the slight loss in BC.
I've been playing around with some JLK 130 grainers.....claimed .600 BC. So far they shoot as good as the Bergers.

I won't be liquidating my inventory anytime soon......grin! That's still the only bullet I shoot in my .308's.

I prefer the 130s in both my 260AI and my 6.5-284. If I were shooting 1000 yd BR, I would consider the 140s but not for hunting. I prefer the extra 200 fps I get with the 130s.
Got a coyote at 1300+ last year with the 130 Norma bullet.
