I'm soon to acquire a Tikka 24" in 260 Remington, too good a price not to. I'm thinking of loading 142SMK, Lapua brass, N560, Remington 9 1/2 primers and loading to mag length (up to 2.90").
Any thoughts or suggestions on that as a starting point? I think the Tikkas are pretty long throated so I should be about to seat the longer bullets out. I did consider necking Lapua Palma brass down but it seems like it may be extra effort without a lot of gain.
This is just for target use.
