    just heard about this round, was wondering if anybody from team tbac had any experience with it? maybe an article to follow up the 6.5 shoot out and 6.5 creed article is in order? anyway, just scopin out info.

    Haven't tried it. Alleged benefits questionable in real-world use. Based on our friends' experience with .260 Ackley, the additional work is not worth it. FYI before my old .260 barrel was toast I was shooting the 139's at 2900 fps even with no pressure signs.

    what was your round count if you don't mind? you know, roughly? and that was with a 26" barrel right?

    Yes, 26". It was somewhere over 4000. I didn't really keep track.
