No doubt I will get totally different results but I know roughly what to expect.

Just upgrading because you want to or because the barrel is getting burned out?

My 260 as above has had well over 2000 rounds through the barrel now and is still out shooting me though my impression is it is not as good as it was several hundred rounds ago. It is getting a new barrel this winter once i get through a long range gong shoot in May.
