Over did it again

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.

What distance? Wind? Flags?

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

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.
