First pic is the 4 shot group that matches the chrono'd speeds above....the three shot group is that is touching is .32 and what the load / rifle is capable of if I did my part.   

Rl17 with 42 grains got me 80 fps faster but showed pressure signes in hot weather so I went back to old faithful and am pretty happy. 

The second pic is my son's group with the same rifle.  He is 7 and loves shooting this rifle.  All in All, I would say he did a great job.

Such a sweet shooting chambering! So much hate for it from the .260 guys. It's not a "Fad" cartridge. It's here to stay. Any serious shooter would recognize that, at just a glance of the reamer print!

Well done!👍

Is looking good. Quick calculation shows 1790 fps at 600 yards with that Accubond (59 degrees, 1000 feet). Decent poke.
