    Pretty easy if you use a long mag as I do with a .260.
    That's what I would do Tikka long mag and bolt stop 20" 1-7 twist and glacier stock.

    22" 1:7.5 trying AR-2209 and StaBall 6.5 at this stage, but RL-17 would be nice to try.

    Yeah it is a possibility but I want to keep as much of that for my 300 Blaser as i can.
    Particularly as powders (RL-26 8lb) missed the March shipment.
    I am wondering on trying Winchaester StaBall Match or HD but the lack of data holds me back with them being such new powders.
    IMR-7828ssc is anoth consideration.
