WTB - 260 Brass

[Crazy Horse]

I am trying to help a friend find some 260 brass. He has an AR in 260 and is not having much luck finding ammo or brass. If you have some, email me or PM me what you have and how much you are wanting for it.

I have some Rem 260 brass. My rifle is set up for Lapua brass,.298" neck. I will ct how many I have and PM you a price. krw

Lapua, in stock at Powder Valley. The best there is.

LU4PH6050 LAPUA BRASS 260 REMINGTON (100) Yes $96.19

There is a difference between Lapua and factory Rem brass. .003" on loaded rd. neck dimension. I have 2 rifles set up to use the Lapua brass. I had PTG change the neck dim. on their 260 Rem Tactical Match reamer from .295" to .298" to allow for the thicker neck and allow for .003" clearance. I would hesitate buying a quantity of Lapua till I tried a couple to make sure they will work. I despise precision reloading for an autoloader as it does not take care of my brass as I do. Especially as good of brass as Lapua is. krw

You are right about that plus you may not find all of it out of a autoloader. I just noticed the guy said he was having trouble finding it and I had saw it there not long ago. Seems the price may have went up since I bought any.

Can you turn the neck on the Lapua brass then use it in a Remington chamber?

Yes you could. But that would be a pain in the Pahootey for an autoloader. I would try as is first and see. Factory chambers are notorious for being sloppy.
