Thread: My custom lone peak and my experience. 260rem

Nice rifle Dale. Perfect combo of parts & caliber, happy hunting.

Wow,, looks real nice Dale!! take it your bottom meat is a floorplate??

What is your internal magazine length measurement??? Obviously no problems seating 143gr out to fit mag.....

Looking at doing a similar 6.5 build myself later on this year, most probably 6.5creedmore/260rem.

Mag length is 2.990 I wouldn’t go down the creed way myself as the 260 gets the speed the same and better imo. Speak to @camo wsm he will sort you a action.

Looks good man

Very nice ��. If u don’t mind me asking what did it cost?

Hay mate so far the cost to me for the rifle less scope is around $4830. Cheaper and more refined then a sako carbon lite and more of a personal thing. sakos and tikka are like bellybuttons everyone has one

Aye, I too would be investing that sort of coin into a custom build any day over an expensive factory option. Nothing against Sako's or other high end offerings, but you get something built exactly to your needs by going custom.
Glad to see you highlighted the trade off's or risks in weight and barrel profile vs accuracy. Lots of people overlook or fail to recognise this fact. And it gets harder as you step up to bigger calibres & magnum's.

Nice rig and impressive numbers for a 260, still got 1000f/lb at 800m. I wouldn’t bother with a 6.5CM ether.

What brass you using?

Good old lapua brass.

Wow, love that build, everything I would have except cal (have 2 already). I sure do like those actions and have nearly had my arm twisted into one.... That speed is phenomenal, I struggle with a 260AI and RL17. The extra long seating depth is clearly playing its part well.

Seating depth isn’t as far out as you would expect. Seat at o.a.l of 2.900 5 thow jump

Seating depth doesn't play a big part in velocity. If you create extra case space by long throating, then generally you have to add more powder to equal the pressure of the standard throat load, thus no extra gain in velocity, just more powder burnt.
