Finally, my Shilen .260 bull barrel showed up today from Northlander. Thanks Jim. I already had the dies, bullets, 150 weight matched .243 cases annealed, full sized, trimmed, and expanded to .260 Rem and 20 loaded shallow with 40.0gr of H4350 and 140 Nosler BTHPs. Now to put her together and find the lands, shove the bullets on in and shoot it on Friday.

The rest of the gun is a 112 VLP (.25-06 donor), EGW base, Burris Signature rings, and Nikon Monarch UCC 6.5-20x44mm. I can't wait.

This barrel is a beautiful piece of work (not my first Shilen) and it screws into the action perfectly snug. The chamber is perfect on a full sized case. The outside is flawless.

I'm excited.
