jdubb, thanks for the info. That's what I'm trying to do, make the best ammo for my gun, I just wanted to make sure that I had some room to give on the coal.
Great, thanks. That is what I was thinking but I like to have conformation right now on most of the things that I'm doing while trying to learn the basics.
Thank you both for that info, it was exactly what I was looking for.
Vette, this might be a really dumb question but I have been looking for bottom metal for this gun. Would it be the same as .308? I can't find anything for .260.
Leo, thanks that is what i was wanting to know. Yes, the first time I tried it I used one of my Lapua 139gr bullets. I did use a comparator after I used the OAL gauge but again I'm trying to learn how to use both tools.
OK, thanks. If I was wanting to know if I was using the OAL gauge correctly though, does that sound like it could/would be right? Could my guns chamber be 2.85?
Quick question. I am still very new to reloading and I just purchased a Hornady OAL gauge. I was trying it out just now on my .260 Remington. My manual says OAL is 2.800, but I keep coming up with 2.85, this time 2.8540. I know this isn't much to go on, but does that sound right? So, the manual...
OK, yeah the Larue mount I have is on my ACOG. I'm pretty sure once I get this one set up, I'll never remove the scope, so fixed is more like it. I'll be sure to look at the Badger mount system.
Thanks for the Vortex comp, I'll hit Alan up and see what all he thinks as well.
Thanks again...
Thanks Alan, that's why I ask.
Hamby, I think that is the one I'm going with. I'll look at the Razor but I was initially thinking about the PST. Not sure if I can justify the price increase? I'll have to get current pricing on both when I get to that point.
So not to get on a big scope...
Alan, I'll definitely contact you when I'm ready.
Trader, Thanks for the advice. One question, what about Larue bases and mounts, what do you think about those? I have them on an AR but not any bolt actions. I know their good, but didn't know what other people thought about them.
Boiler...
Trader, I think so I've gotten some pretty good advice too, it's been helpful. My wife likes your advice....she'd rather me not spend too much money on this thing. Police model is not an option, I bought the only one I could find, SPS, black synthetic stock, with sporter barrel. Copy on the...
I'm definitely gonna shoot it first, maybe just because I can't afford to upgrade it at the moment. I won't be shooting any matches with it, mainly just wanting something that I can stretch out and try to get as precise as possible. I know I don't want a chassis system, just not my style. I...
