I forgot that part. It is a Criterion. That is the only kind of barrel that I will use. I have five now. Two Creeds, two .260s, and one 7 mag. They shoot everything that I put through them and the velocities are good.What barrel did you go with?
You evidently have not shot any deer with one.Nice looking rifle!
But when you said "whacker", i was expecting something like a 45-70.
Not a Manbun. Lol
I shot a Manbun once.You evidently have not shot any deer with one.
You never shot it very much, then. I have two fantastic 7 mags, a .308, an -06 and I nearly always grab my .260s and Creeds, now. Never had any use for a pukey .257 bullet.I shot a Manbun once.
Then had to wash my hands.. :
I'll stick to the .257 & .284 diameter bullets.

I really like Reloder 26. I bought eight pounds of it, before it got stupid rare. I use it exclusively for the 147 ELDM. 46 grains gets me 2745 and superb accuracy. I had it up over 2800, but backed it off and this is a great load. The 147 whacks deer and steel with authority, even though it is a TARGET bullet. I had my 140 Interlocks just below 2900, when I did a test. This newest rifle really likes H4831sc, as you can see by the last pic. It is only 2712, but will kill at the ranges I shoot my milk cows-or, uh, muley does-at.If you can find some RL26 try it, I get 240fps over h4350. A 140g 6.5 bullet at 2950fps is a killer no mater what it comes out of.
