Quality .260 REM brass

[welldone]

What is the best quality REM .260 brass? Is it easier/better to form up or down using LAPUA .243 or .308 brass.

Current Remington brass in 260 has not been to bad compared to older runs. I stopped spending the extra money for Lapua and use remington brass. I lightly turn the necks to clean them up and shoot it. I can't tell no difference in a GAP built rifle. Neck tension and care in my reloading process makes more difference.

I use 308 Lapua brass in mine, my chamber is on the tight side so I do have to turn the necks a little but its all for the better. I think that 200 Lapua cases will last you the life of your barrel unless you get crazy with the pressure, and unless your chamber is tight then you will have no prep work, nexk it down and your done

Thanks for the input guys.Another ?-- Can I use my Redding Comp.die set,.308) to load for the .260 with smaller neck bushing? Also, can I use my .308 body die to bump the shoulder?

welldone,
Using the 30cal bushing/body dies will work in a pinch.

For the BEST 260 Rem brass, try Rem URBR brass necked down-you won't go back to Lapua ever again!!

Have you considered Nosler Brass? More expensive than Remington, but the prep work is done.

Hi!
I neck down Winchester 7mm-08 brass to make my .260 brass. Very easy to do, and works great.
