    Well it wont be at its best till the 3rd or 4th use of the case if using Lapua or similar quality brass. Its amazing 3" in a 6.5 can gain so much speed from less capacity.
    I would love too know the load but like thats gunna happen

    You assume a lot Dave, it is Lapua brass & it has been fired 5-7 times so far, as previously posted it was with Reloder 17

    My 260 has a shorter throat than the 260 improved.

    The standard load I was talking about, you never gave data for that iirc? Shorter throat gains you what Greg? 120fps with 5% less capacity than the improved. It certainly isnt Barrel length as that is a trade off in pressure.

    It takes a few firings for the brass to "settle down" & conform properly to the chamber, especially with wildcat fireformed cases.

    The 1st firing on any new brass is never the best, the 2nd will be better

    I built another 260 improved, on a Model 7 this time.

    I put a VX1, off another Model 7 I got, on it, it has the usual light weight components.

    I weighs 6.4 lbs as it is with the heavy factory plastic fantastic stock.

    It will be 5.5 lbs when its nice new Carbon Fibre one shows up

    It pushes the 120 GMX at 3075-3100fps so quite useable.
