I have a .260 on a custom Kimber, 5 lbs all up, with four down, it's lively to shoot, infact I would rather do 20 shots with the 9.3, or .375, but light was what I got.
I look and see if Lapua has brass, or brass I can resize, if not, move i on to something esle.
I had a play with all the short fat magnums, don't care for any of them really, only short cartage I like is .221 fireball,
How light you trying to get ?

Is your kimber suppressed? I'm going to suppress this rifle
It will have a number 2 tube and McMillan carbon stock so pretty light

No, was thinking about it, but have more than one center fire, and just had the 7x57 and .264 win threaded, for suppressor, don't really see the point, in adding more weight to an ultralight rifle, might as well take one of the others, allthough it might be less lively to sight in, I know it shoots very well, but like most very light weight rifles, its difficult to consistently shoot well.
