Frustrated

[DFB Plinker]

Brand new model 12 LRP rem.260. I ordered lock n load modified cases .260 rem. and 6mm rem. two months ago still waiting for order to arrive. I could have walked to the hornady factory and back by now. I also ordred 45/70 gov. and 270 wsm they have arrived. However the two calibers I am most interested in are somewhere in cyberspace. Just venting!

I ended up getting my .260 modified case out of the States.

I ordered them through a local shop, well 80 clicks away. It is not their fault they are on backorder from the supplier. Who is no doubt getting them from Hornady. Sinclair have them on restricted list so without going through a pile of paper work that all costs money I went with a local. It just seems that anything coming north of the 49th from any of the American companies is second class even a small item such as what I ordered.

We just got our gunsmith buddy to get that odd-ball tap and make the modified cases for those that want them. He usually uses a case from the test firing on your rebarrel job.

I ordered a 5/16 x36 tap ... Any case I want when I want it .... And cheaper too

Thanks monkey getting the tap tomorrow. Going to look for the tap tomorrow.

Good luck getting one tomorrow , it's a very uncommon thread size. Your local hard wear or auto parts store isn't going to carry it ..

Get an L sized drill bit while you're at it.

I ordered the drill bit and tap on ebay total was $16 I can make as many as I want now.

Ordered the tap on e-bay tonight 8.95 Canadian free shipping for god sake. Thanks for the tips fellows. Read somewhere tonight that a guy can use kinetic bullet puller in a vice to hold the cartridge to drill it if you have to. 5/16 X 36 , 19/64 drill bit.

 

[ultimate_monkey]

you can also get away with a 9/32 or "k" drill bit.. they are a bit more common and easier to find..

I use a 7,20mm drill bit and a 5/16-36 tap. Works perfectly and fits better then the hornady make cases.
