Im a 260 guy sooo. You can get 260 brass from nosler, lupua, remington. Brass can easily be made from 243 or 7/08 brass. 308 is very doable also but may require a neck turn depending how tight your chamber is. O and by easily made i mean running it throught a 260 fl die.

Thanks for all the info. I will be handloading as I handload for everything I own. Which round is easier to find brass for and more readily available?

What Oxn said...260 hands down.

So if I FL size .260 brass from .243 and 7mm-08 will I have to anneal them? I was trying to avoid the annealing process due to time managment lol. Id rather just run the required brass up through the FL die and be ready to go.

I sized win brand 243 to 260 and had 5 loadings on them before i annealed. i had no problems but did it just incase.
