    Wirehunt is doing better than me with his .260 Rem. The only 120 grain projectiles I can get safely over 3000fps are Barnes TSX (very slippery!) and A-maxes. Others top out about 2950 (22" barrel)

    Homer, I had a few failures with 120 B-Tips and gave up on them. There is no 125 B-Tip (they come in 100 and 120 grains in 6.5mm). There is a 125 partition. Is that what your mate is using? I'm considering using the partition, so would be keen on an informed opinion.
