Will doing this and like the sound of 260AI in a small action if feeding can be made to work due to sharp shoulders.
Anyone done a build with this caliber? I am looking at a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel and worked blueprinted m700 action with CF stock.
Interested in other actions people might recommend for a custom build.
Had one a couple years. 70fps slower than what I ran my 6.5-06 with 10 grns less powder and 130gr bullet. Its comfortable at 3050fps in a 24" barrel
Very accurate inherantly, and easy to form brass., all sorts of brass to choose from.
My barrel gets scary accurate on the 3rd firing.
You will like it I reckon.
I shoot both the 129 interlock and 130 swifts. Have to use a different powder for both but same MPI for zero.
Only shot 20-30 animals with it but so far so good.

Excellent...only 20-30 animals...I wish!
It's only one and a half a month and I live in prime deer country.
Would easily get that a month when we could sell them.
Enjoy building your Ackley. Very happy with mine.

No worries. Just bring lots of whiskey.

Aren't you supposed to be out murdering stags? My Haast trip is postponed to mid-late April now, got 4th period or something in those blocks
Na. I don't go till Monday.
Got plenty of shooting to do over the weekend tho. Even have to dust off the shotgun for Sunday.
You saying you have the block for 4th period?

That's weird. I dunno the details, when did you ring? It's booked for us but was free prior to whenever it was booked
Stop buggerizing around on my thread :)
