nice rig, I personally would go with something like a 4-12 or 4.5-14 but otherwise its awesome. You need some 130 gr Accubonds and a stash of Retumbo

 

[boney]

Hey boney, were you shooting that factory ammo through the .270 WSM, or something else through the new .264?

if the former, how did it shoot for you?

Doug

Doug I haven't shot ANY ammo through the 270WSM yet.

 

[shotgunjoe]

130 Accubonds?
Are we still talking .264?

 

[todbartell]

new for 2007, I havent seen a box of them yet for sale

 

[Doug]

TB I think you are talking about 130 gr accubonds in .277.

SGJ thinks you are talking about those in .264.........

But I don't think so..........

My .270 WSM load that I am about to try is 140 gr Barnes TSXs and Retumbo pushing them, should be deadly. If this load works, it is probably going to the Yukon with me in September....

I'm talking about 6.5mm

BC is .488

I managed to get my hands on a few and shot one group in my 260. Group hovered around 1 inch, got lots of potential. I ordered ten boxes

Very interesting indeed!

I know that the 6.5 Swede likes those long 160 grain pills, so why not a long bullet for the .260..........

Doug

 

[todbartell]

1-8 twist will handle anything up to 142 Sierra match & 155 gr Lapua round nose bullets, longest bullets Ive tried yet. My old 260 had a 1-9 twist which was sketchy with long 140s, especially the X bullet

 

[shotgunjoe]

Thanks todd,this is anew one to me .I new hornady made 129 but a 130 with a bc of 130 should be awesome in the .264 and my 6.5 swede.....and my .260rem .Where did you order them from?

 

[todbartell]

got them on order through the local hunting shop, probably wont see any until summer

 

[shotgunjoe]
