RP 260 Rem Brass: where to find

[capreppy]

I'm trying to find some RP 260 Rem brass. Bruno's had some, but I didn't have the cash at the time. I NOW have the cash and of course they are sold out. Anyone have it in stock? Looking for 500 pieces and am willing to pay up to $0.60/piece (Bruno's was $0.56 and I think they raised their prices (again)).

I saw Win 243 at Cabelas the other day, run it through your FL die with the expander on and rock on, Win 7-08 is ideal but not in stock anywhere I can find, I have some Win 243/7-08 brass that I made into 260 that have 25+ reloads, Rem brass doesn't last even a 1/3 of that

I had considered going to Win route, but have had no luck finding stuff available. There is a Cabela's 15 mins from me. I'll give it a looksy.

Question... can you size .308 brass directly to 260 or do you have to jump to 7-08 first and then 260?

Mile High has as lot of Lapua 260 brass, in stock.

I was hoping to save some money in the short term with RP brass, but I think I may have to bite bullet and pick up some Lapua. I'll check them out and get an order placed.

You're saying you've gotten 25+ reloads out of Winchester brass? How do you make it last so long?

IMHO no, 308 brass is .020 too short.

I don't push my rounds hard any more, a 139/140/142 going 2775-2800, I do anneal every 3-5 firings

Good to know. I'm shooting mostly under 600 and when I need longer, I can always run rounds at the next accuracy node.

my local shop had a bunch the other day, im going there thursday i can look if you wanna pm me

I did some math (hate it when that happens). Given I'm going to probably be paying $0.60 for RP brass (assuming I can find some), I would only be paying $0.35 more for Lapua. Yes it is more, but am looking at 500 pieces. For 500 pieces, that is an additional $175. I can almost justify it if I'm looking at more loads and not having to do match prep on that 500.

Mile High is $10/100 cheaper (given the Hide discount). Shipping is reasonable (got an email from them yesterday, $16 for 500 pieces).

Great, I'm simply passing on who has what. What are you going to do when Mile High depletes their inventory?
Other options are always needed.

Valid point and I appreciate that
