    The ammo I use is made by Copper Creek Cartridge Co.  They currently have 7 different offerings in .260.  I like the 130 grain Berger VLD Match in the Lapua Brass.  They chrono at about 2700 fps if I remember correctly.

    Took my new CTR in .260 to the range today.  Fired 5 to get my 100 yard zero. Cleaned the bore and fired a fouler.  Proceeded to fire a 5 round group that I could cover with a dime all in the bull.  Was shooting Copper Creek 130 grain Berger Match VLD's in Lapua Brass @ 2700 fps.  Was think about pillar bedding it before the range session but not anymore.

    The shot to the right of the dime was the fouler.

    After taking it out to the range for the first time today I decided I'm not going to touch it.  I fired 5 to get my 100 yard zero, cleaned the bore out with some Bore-Tech Eliminator, fired a fouler and shot a five round group that I could completely cover with a dime.  Most accurate out of the box rifle I've ever shot.  I have had $3K-$5k custom rifles that couldn't do that.  I love this rifle!
