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.
