Anyone gone 20 inch or shorter, and have any speeds on 140gr bullets?

Anyone gone 20 inch or shorter, and have any speeds on 140gr bullets?
Not 260 but 0.5mm bigger I have a 7mm08 out of a 19" tube doing 2770fps with 140g NBT.
Thanks I guess...
I have a 20" 6.5x47 and 20" 6.5x55 so I can make an educated guess that the .260 would fall somewhere in the middle of those two but...........
Using a 16 inch 7mmsaum
140 BT or AB @3000fps
And one at 20 inches for 3200fps with the same projectiles
guys. guys. it literally says ".260" right there in the title.

The 260 would be a smidgen slower than creedmoor in the link.
Yes we saw your problem straight awayQuote:

And yes it is for a 260 Rem.
tagged for Interest as just picked up a finnlight in .260, 20".
shooting 125gr partions well, and looking at a secondary pill.
I have a standard tikka 260 with 22 7/8 inches or whatever it is . I woulent want a short 260 if you want to make the most out of your 260 leave it long. Better calibres to suit the short setups 308 or 300wsm or something :)
@gimp I'm just reading between the lines that you might be after

Gimp, you might be surprised how close the 6.5x47 is to the 260?
Maybe, I'd expect a little more from the .260 maybe. Have had x47 doing 2800 w 140 though, hahQuote:

my geuess is about the same as 47 yes 47 is a smaller case than 260 however 47 is rated for higher pressure so im thinking it ill near even out give or take be interesting to hear results mateQuote:

Sorry Gimp, no 140 grain data. Here's some actual .260 Rem data though.
130 grain projectile, 50 grains AR2213sc: 2800 fps in 22" tube, 2500 fps in 16" tube (same rifle)
120 grain projectile, 47.5 grains H414: 3000 fps in 22" tube, 2800 fps in 16" tube
I expect the heavier bullet would be faster with quicker powder in the short barrel.
I was reading your old thread full of .260 data on FNH the other day, didn't have much luck with h4350/2209? Seems to be favoured by most for .260, with 140gr mainly though. Decent speeds with a 16", hmm
E yeah 2213sc is probably a bit slow for a 16
K95 availiable in .260 ?????Quote:

Someone sell me one with 223, 7mm08 and rem mag barrels please
Another convert to the dark side:)

No 140gr data, but i am currently playing with 130gr VLD's, doing 2,900fps with H414 from a 20" model 7 (260 Rem). The numbers look bloody good on the 130 VLD at 2,850+ fps
Have you bagged any animals with them yet?Quote:

Nearly 7.62x39 ballistics :yaeh am not durnk:
What is your twist rate, and what degree of accuracy are you getting?Quote:

for sure, only took about 6 months to find a way of actually nailing down joining
up to 2705avg today at 1.5gr over book max (2209). Loading long though, 2.92" OAL, .2mm off the lands, and no visible pressure signs - primers still rounded on the edge, consistent increments in speed, no ejector marks, easy bolt lift. Quickload once adjusted for fireformed case water capacity suggests approx 60,000 psi and predicts 2714 fps, the speed prediction is pretty close to right on.
accuracy average - seems to be throwing a first round flier on every group today, unless it's my shooting suffering from the horrendous flu I've picked up.
e: didn't have this problem with the Blaser *shakes fist*
Run an Ackley reamer thru it.
