Is there a consensus ?

[maestrovert]

i ordered a DPMS LR-260 yesterday....
i'm planning on using the 130gr Nosler Accu-Bond in the rifle, primarily for hunting but also for my informal competition,Silhouette & F-Class) shooting needs, so before i begin acquiring the necessary components, i must ask a couple of dumb questions...

For the 260 Rem, is there a consensus on:
1: the best powder ?
2: the best brass ?


Any and all opinions and/or comments welcomed and much appreciated....

Thanx guys !

I just got in 100 130gr Swift Scirrocco's,sp?), and 100 140gr Hornady SST's for my incoming DPMS. I'm going to use it for hunting and matches. I also have 550 peices of Remington .260 brass coming in as well. I went with the Remington because it is a lot cheeper than Nosler, or Making brass out of .243 Lapua,which a lot of 260 bolt shooters do). I also chose it because auto loaders are harder on brass and I don't know how chewed up they are going to get,how many loading i'm going to get out of them).

I also just got in a 8lb jug of H4350, which has come highly recommended by a lot of .260 shooters that I have talked with.
