Ackley Improved Chambers

[Jimbob78]

730ish, almost all of it factory Prime. I can track round count via the original 800 Prime I purchased when I got it. There's plenty of barrel life left, I am just trying to stretch it a bit further. I have all my data to 1300 yards and it's getting a bit boring...

I’m shooting 26” Brux, which I’ve found to be a tad faster than other manufacturers. With close to 1000, I’d shoot that barrel out while you are waiting on a blank from Brux, kreiger or bartlein in a heavier contour. Gray at swift creek rifles will cut you a very good 260ai chamber. I really wish my rifle was on a long action and I may chamber this gun in something that fits better SA and get an intermediate/medium length action for the 260ai to shoot the 153.5gn hybrids.

That's what I am currently shooting in a 6.5 PRC over Staball HD and love it... I've been looking at getting Proof CF blank and having it chambered and fit. Thanks for the referral, I hadn't heard of SCR...

I’ve held two identical contour blanks proof and bartlein in his shop, proof is lighter but bartlein is…….well Bartlein. My 260ai is shoot equal speed out of a 26” barrel as a 22” prc.
