Usually run lapua brass, ccibr2 h4350, running 44.5grains in a 27 inch barrel, 2925 velocity, when I run 140 berger hybrids around 3025. Barrel life on the last 5 or 6 barrels has on average been about 4000, less supressed, but I shot prs so shes run hard. About 2011 I ran a test with superperformance, to be honest, incredible speeds with 139 scenars but accuracy at best was 1/2 moa so I passed. I only wish at times Remington jad put as much effort into the 260 Remington as Hornady did with the creedmoor.

3000fps with 140s in a standard 260?
