The War Dept says I have overdone it again...she will never understand.
I have been working up loads for my new toy and I may have found a good one. Rifle is a Savage 112 single shot with a PacNor 1" straight tube.. 6.5x308 AI . Have tried Sierra 107 gr MK and 120 spitzers, but the Berger 130 VLD seems to be the one. Rifle currently weight 16 lbs.

Thanks.
100 yrds .. 0-3 mph blowing downrange. This load chrono's at 3000 '/sec and as soon as I load up a few more rounds, I will be stretching the distance to 700+ yrds. I broke the barrel in with load developement and am happy with this load now. I am fortunate to have access to a prarrie dog town that is a mile from one end to the other...location...somewhere over the rainbow..lol

Awesome groups man, wish I could do that!

how was the turn time with pac-nor?

fremont · « **Reply #10 on:** March 28, 2010, 09:42:11 AM »

Cool. Is this caliber = 260 Rem AI?

Nice rifle. How much gain do you get over a standard 260rem?

Thanks
High Country & fremont....
Twist is 1:8.5 for the heavier bullets.
I have been working on this project for several yrs..actually bought the barrel 3 yrs ago..don't remember the turn around, but call and ask for Penny..she is VERY knowledgeable about barrels and will be able to help. I wasn't concerned about the time 'cause it takes me quite a while to fund these little projects now...may have to go back to work.
It is the same as a .260 AI...I am just using the 308 as the parent.
I need to build a different rest..this was my 2nd trip out with this and what is pictured is not satisfactory. Actually did the barrel break-in in my shop...until the neighbor complained.

Jamieb...don't really know. I just wanted something different and was talking to a guy in Nev. that had built one and went ahead with it. It is expensive with custom dies and all...but fun.
Just looked it up...about + 250 '/sec with 130 gr.

high country · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2010, 10:42:11 AM »

my 6.5 is the same twist. I have really good luck with 142smk's at 2950 fps.

nice outfit. good triggermanship too!

gramps · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2010, 11:18:55 AM »

Which 6.5 ? I will try some of the 142s

high country · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2010, 12:05:36 PM »
