I finally put this rifle back together after my move to WY.
This is the Shilen barrel in .260 Rem. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/100365308?pid=482505
I just verified again with my Go/No go gauges that it is headspaced correctly.
I have several boxes of "blem" 140 gr bullets that I want to load. I loaded up a ladder and set them to the OAL called out in the book (2.78, I think).
I checked my lands distance with the Hornady tool, and I'm actually into the lands with that OAL.
Am I doing something wrong? Are some 140 gr bullets just not going to work with this barrel? I haven't shot this set up in so many years I don't remember what I was doing before. I thought that I was loading Sierra matchking 140 or 142 grain bullets in the past.
