[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2760152, member: 87243"] Pictures of the finished build man! .260ai is a fun cartridge, I love mine. What is your barrel length? With 4831sc, 140 Bergers had a nice load around 2930, pressure signs were at 3000 or a shade over, in my 29" krieger. RL26 got them faster, but while it still shot well, it wasn't quite as stupid accurate and consistent as H4831sc. Currently running the 156 at 2935 with rl26, I might see if I can get n565 to work with the 156 since I have 8 lbs of it and almost no rl26 left...... My son and I have put together a budget .260ai for his first rifle (he is 9) on a top bolt release savage with a 22" x-caliber prefit, Arken scope and aluminum xlr chassis using scavenged AR parts for the grip and stock. He payed for it all with his 4-h money. I snagged 1500 145 Barnes mb's on sale through midway for $90/500, I plan on using h4831sc, was hoping to find a load between 2700 and 2750 for him to train with. While the entire rifle and optic was under $1,500, I am still confident it will be a good trainer for him, and maybe for his 12th birthday I'll get him a mag bolt face and carbon prefit for it in something like a 7 saum or max, so it will be a little better suited for him for elk. Budget builds are fun, and the lower "ouch" factor when they are finished is nice! [/QUOTE]
