I figure once I invest in bullets, new powder and dies to set up...I should just get a good barrel and be done with it.
+1, If you are a percision nut, a custom barrel in .260 with 1:8 twist should give you the long range performance you want. And you'll be money ahead, instead of trying to get the Shaw barrel to shoot bung holes as I have done.
