Most vendors are out of .260 brass until February, and I can't wait that long to break in my new .260. Is there anything I need to do besides running 7mm 08 or .243 brass through the .260 FL die and trimming to get .260 brass?

I can send you a few virgin cases if you want....does 30 sound ok?

I need to run off to a town board meeting....(I'm on the board) but will be back in a few hours.

PM me if you want me to send a few.

However if you have the 7-08 brass now....just run it through the .260 die.....and go!

Necking down one step like that is about as easy as it gets. There shouldn't be any problem with neck thickness or case length.

Necking .243 UP will work too, but IMHO, necking up never produces the same quality of necks going down does.

Best deal would be to take Vapo up on his kind offer.

WW 7/08 is a preferred brass to run thru a 260 die for MANY a hardcore 260 fans, more capacity, and better accuracy, and more primer pocket life from reports.

Nosler (made by Norma) and Norma brand brass is an option, albeit expensive. It is VERY good stuff FWIW.

according to a post on 6mm br, lapua is going to offer 260 brass after shot show. in meantime i'm using 308 necked down, gives tighter neck fit in my chamber, a factory sav. l e version. only 002 neck expansion over loaded size. tom.

Thanks all - that'll get me started.

Just an FYI Midway has .260 brass and its on sale.
