I am in the process of building a .260 Rem using my Savage 111 .30-06 as a base. It is a center feed stlye long action.

I was looking to pick up a Redding Neck Sizer die seen here. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=521137

I have one for my 700 .308 and it does a good job.

Do any of you think I would have trouble loading the rounds in the center feed mag if I just size the necks?

Any other tips or tricks for loading the .260 Rem?

You wont have feeding trouble but you may have a hard time closing the bolt on them if you don't Full Length size every now and then. I used Redding Full Length and Neck Die and a Redding Comp Seater in my .260. The 243 I just built I'll use a Forester Ultra seater and Redding F/L and Neck Dies. I'd try to buy you're dies in a set they are cheaper that way.
