build or buy

Well I picked up the lrp today, waiting on my optics and reloading dies any tips on where to start with loads?

Based on what others seem to be shooting in their long range .260's and other 6.5's I'd buy 100 cases of Lapua brass, if you can find them (they are worth the price), H4350 and one of the flavors of Berger 140 VLD's or Sierra Match Kings. My Swede likes the Berger Hybrids. They are supposedly more forgiving as far as seating depth. I shoot mine well off the lands.

Alright I'll give it a trounce I get everything put together. I'm excited to get the barrel broke in and Start hand loading but wow factory ammo is hard to find and expensive

Not sure if this helps you any but handy nonetheless

I have an LRP in 6.5, the factory bull barrel shot 1/2 moa. I've got 6 reloads on some brass and they'e still in good shape. Seems like most of the guys around here are shooting 139 scenars in the 260/6.5 CM. The Amax had significant differences between boxes of bullets requiring changes in the seating die. The Scenars have been really consistent.

Just waiting on optics now I had an extra weaver 20 moan base but figured out it does not fit since it has a lip protruding off the bottom but I ordered a different one that hopefully will fit

Well I took the lrp for a test drive today wow am I impressed for a factory rifle, light recoil too. I was only able to shoot out to 200 yards but shot sub moa I am thinking about putting a muzzle brake on it, there is quite a bit of muzzle jump it would be nice to see my shots. Anyone have experience with thread on vs clamp on?

Threads.

I have a Ross Schuler Brake on both my 6.5's. One is on the factory bull barrel and the other on a bartlien on a stiller action. They work well, I use them more for the ease of staying on target during matches than for recoil. The brakes work well and are inexpensive but you'll need a smith to thread the barrel and time them.

I thought clamp on muzzle accessories were for Airsoft guns...

Ross's are all we're using. I literally threw away some more expensive brakes after getting our first from Ross.
We run them on 270 win, 7mm rem mag, 308 win, 300wsm, and all the way up to the 300 ultra and 338 edge.
Can't beet them or there price.

Are Ross' design the same as Holland's?

[Newsshooter]

Yes, they're similar, here's a link to his page. http://home.comcast.net/~MOA_Shooters/RossMuzzleBrakes.htm Last time I ordered one I called him to discuss it, sent them the money and the brake arrived two days later, he'd shipped it before he got the payment. His install price is cheap too.
