Reasonably priced 260 Match Ammo

[Guest]

We are committed to the 260 Remington cartridge. Despite the recent and seasonal shortages in component cases, we will continue to offer loaded ammunition to serious shooters.

To overcome the shortages of brass from Remington, we have begun forming our own from Winchester 7mm-08 cartridge cases. We have had great success so far, with final testing to be completed tomorrow.

We will be offering this ammunition on or webstore beginning on Friday, June 8; final testing permitting.

Pricing will be comparable to our Remington cased 260 match ammo. We will be offering it with both Sierra and Lapua bullets, in weights of 123, 139, and 142 grains.

thanks,

Mike

So full of win. This shows a serious commitment to your customers. This is the first time I've seen an ammunition manufacturer producing ammo with formed brass to keep prices down. It would be easy to do nothing and say "it is what it is" and the money would keep coming but you and other vendors on here continue to push the envelope to bring new and practical products to the market. I'll be placing my order Monday.

Surprisingly this stuff works like it was made for 260. We added an extra warning label and painted the headstamps.

Re: Reasonably priced 260 Match Ammo

Mind telling us what you guys are using to paint the case heads?

I am thinking about doing that with my match brass.

You guys are great! I ordered a case of 175smk .308 to Tucson a couple days ago and I had it the next day. You're going above and beyond to keep prices reasonable on 260 is just fantastic!

Good on you guys! I appreciate a company that is willing to think outside the box to bring quality products to their customers at a reasonable price. A lot of companies would have hid behind their lawyers on something like this. You run the kind of company I would do business with.

Not that surprising, really. There are quite a few guys who have been shooting this for quite a while with excellent results.

For the guys concerned about this brass, I just recently did an extensive field trial at 750 yds. using Lapua and resized Win. 7-08 brass and honestly if there was a difference, it was so negligible as to be lost in the noise or shooter error. As a result, I'm now using resized 7-08 exclusively. Lapua *might* last longer, but at these prices, who cares? Shoot with confidence.

I have been shooting reformed 7-08 brass for years. Primer pockets last longer then Rem. Once prepped, as accurate as Lapua.

Re: Reasonably priced 260 Match Ammo

My ammo showed up today. Will have results to post at the end of the week from 2 rifles.

Cant wait to run this stuff tomorrow.
