260 Long Range Shots- With Video

[hafejd30]

The 260 with a berger vld hunting bullet might give you a little more expansion at long range. With my load I am around 640 ft-lbs of energy at your range. What is your load and ftps?

My data shows 560 lbs knockdown.

142 SMK .010 off lands
42.5 gr H4350
CCI BR 2
Lapua case trimmed to 2.025
Annealed every firing
2835 fps

Lee collet die
Forester bench rest seater

Shot several 3 shot groups the other day at 100 yards while testing a scope. They measured .267", .301", .278". My groups during load testing were
300 yds: .37" (.12moa) - 3 shots
600 yds: 2.64" (.44 moa) - 5 shots

Have shot several groups at 300 that could be covered with a dime. I won't switch this load as I plan on running it for comps this summer and would like to practice etc. My lapua will be my primary long range hunting rifle, when I get it back. That's got 1,555 lbs of punch at that range.

Why modify the shovel when you have a bulldozer along side it lol

Not to hijack, but:

I just picked up 4K of the BR2's for $126. Been using the CCI 200's and getting a pretty wild ES. Have you compared the ES of your groups using the BR2's vs 200's? I'm hoping they prove to be more consistent, and if not I can sell them and make money.
