My poor old AI barrel is tired beyond belief so I am about to order a new barrel, my brass needs replacing as well so I thought I might as well jump ship to the 6,5x47 Lapua as they work well at longer distances so I have some decisions to make.

Barrel length, 24" or 26"? It will be a Border barrel in AI profile screw cut for a suppressor.

Bullets, I have some 140 grain Hybrids, has anyone tried them or should I just keep with my trusted 139 or 123 Scenars

It would be used for 1000-1200 yards

Thoughts anyone?

I just got my .260 rem AI CS Rem 700 working , Armalon barrel 1 in 8 twist and I will be trying Berger BT long range 140's on Sunday at the range . I 'm also trying some of my favorite Scenar 139 's and sierra 140's and 142's all with varget 27" barrel length.
