Pretty easy if you use a long mag as I do with a .260.
That's what I would do Tikka long mag and bolt stop 20" 1-7 twist and glacier stock.

Yup, @GWH I have a 25CM running 133g Berger Elite Hunters, normally carry stock of the Elite Hunter and 135g LRHT, hoping for more soon.

How does it go, pretty reasonable ballistics for the cartridge size eh

About to start initial load development, but from all the research I'm expecting 2900+ fps

What's your barrel length.
And what powder will you be trying

22" 1:7.5 trying AR-2209 and StaBall 6.5 at this stage, but RL-17 would be nice to try.

What about RL26 (aka unicorn horn dust) ?

Yeah it is a possibility but I want to keep as much of that for my 300 Blaser as i can.
Particularly as powders (RL-26 8lb) missed the March shipment.
I am wondering on trying Winchaester StaBall Match or HD but the lack of data holds me back with them being such new powders.
IMR-7828ssc is anoth consideration.

Just for those interested, I do have both the 133g Elite and 135g LRHT due in the coming weeks.
