Thanks for all the replies guys. I guess if all else fails and the 260 (brass) goes the way of the 250 Savage or 257 Roberts I can learn to size 308/243 brass.

I've reloaded for pistol for about 17 years on a Dillion XL650, but have never reloaded rifle cartridges. I bought a Hornady Lock n Load classic single stage press as well as all the ancillary items to begin reloading rifle rounds, still have one more order of doo-dads on the way before I can start.

eddiesindian, I'm in El Paso as well - on the east side in the Tierras by the hospital. Might have to link up sometime.

XL105, could not agree more with that philosophy, stock up, stock up, stock up.

I've got some time to figure this out and decide between the 6.5 Creed (just strikes me more as a gamer's round) and the 260 Rem as I'm looking to start playing with the 243 Win round next as soon as I re-barrel my Savage 308.
