Finished the 260 pistol project!

Cool looking piece and I bet it's a lot of fun to shoot.

Pistols like this are really cool.  I know someone who built something similar-ish looking chambered in 338 Edge and has shot it all the way out past 1600yds.  Crazy looking things but their capabilities shouldn't be underestimated, that's for sure.

That's one heck of a conversation starter

Looks like a nice build. What did it come it as far as weight?

I haven't put it on a scale yet, but it's probably in the 9-10# range. It's not as heavy as my 6mm BR that's over 14#!

The hard part now will be deciding what bullet to run out of it. I was initially thinking one of the 140gr bullets but I may try the 130s to make up for the velocity loss from the shorter barrel. With the 130s from the 19" barrel I should be able to come pretty darn close to matching the 6.5x47 Lapua.  That should get me pretty close to 1200 yards and still super sonic. I'd call that a success!

I think the 130's would be a great choice.
