Hard to find .260 Rem brass !?!

[bcsteve]

I got a new .260 Rem rifle coming and trying to get ready but I can't find any brass!! I called Wholesale, Russells and S.I.R., nobody has any in stock. Anybody has a line on where I could find some? Thanks.

Unless I am mistaken, can you not just resize .308 or .243 brass in your Rem .260 die?

 

[bcsteve]

Yes you can but I would like to have the real thing with the proper head stamp.

Any shop should be able to get Rem brass for you. If its not in stock it should only be a few days to get it in.

P&D had some the last time I was there.

Thanks, I think roberti11 found me a source, will have to call tomorrow.

Shooters Choice In Waterloo ON had 3 bags of 50. Remington. Forget the price.

You might also try Epps ... they had a good swack of Remington brass.

How did you do, BC Steve?

If you call WSS-Edmonton directly, I saw some when I worked there, about 2 months ago & they were of the Remington brand. They had lots!

When I called they said that they didn't have any, at any of their stores (according to their computer).

I ordered some from Sinclair International. 100 brass for $40.

Never Never rely on that computer!!

I have gone the route of necking down Hornady .308, just did 15 on the weekend to start testing, and they chambered no problem in my Tikka T3 .260, and also they chambered no problem in a Sako .260.

Thanx Steve. I'm gonna be in the same boat, soon.

Just need a scope, base, rings, reloading room, press......................

I had some once-fired to start testing,so I just back-ordered. The necking up of 243 Lapua is the considered the deluxe way. BTW the necking up 243 was the favourite way to get 6.5-08 when it was a wildcat. I'm interested in how yours shoots.

I've been happily shootin my 260 with 7-08 brass for many years. 260 brass was not available at the gunshop when I bought it (which was the year the 260 was first introduced - ?). They had lots of fresh 7-08 in stock though. No issues using it except the headstamp one - which - if I also owned a 7-08 - then it would be an issue for me.
