    243 AI vs 260 AI vs AR10 mag length

    I'm getting ready to build an AR10, either in .243 AI or .260 AI With magazine constraints realized, which cartridge can I use the highest BC bullet vs velocity without using up all my powder space? Will the 243 107-115's work at mag length with good velocity? Or will a 139-142 gr. 260 be...

    Range Report Finally got a little range time with the 260

    I took my tactical rifle rifle out today an shot some impressive(to me anyway) groups with it. I used Reloader 22 which isnt in the Sierra loading manual and I also used VVN560 which isnt in the manual either but both powders shot great. I tried some 120 grain Hornady Amax with CCI BR 2 primers...

    Gunsmithing 260 Remington vs 264 WM

    I have been noting the following that the 260 Remington has and was wondering why the 264 WM does not have the same following since it has greater velocity for the same bullet weight and diameter. What am I missing?

    Gunsmithing Howa in .260 Rem and McRee stock for Howa?

    Hello all, I figured I would ask both questions in one shot instead of creating two threads... Since Howas are not offered in this flavor, I'm wondering if anyone here has a Howa rebarreled to .260 Rem? Which barrel did you go with? How is it performing for ya? Also, does anyone know if the...

    Forming 260 brass from 7mm-08

    I don't have the rifle chambered yet but was preppeing some brass last night. As normal, using the Redding bushing FL sizer I get a small section of the neck unsized. Normally not a problem with correct brass, but when forming, will this cause a problem in chambering? Or will the camming...

    Gunsmithing ar-10 308 to .260 conversion?

    someone told me that a .260 round is just a necked down .308, so my question is: if that is a fact, to convert a regular ar-10 into a .260 would it only be necessary to change barrels? will the clips, bolt, buffer etc. stay the same?

    Gunsmithing Precision AR10 build in 260?

    I have a new Remington R25 chambered in 308. I would like to keep that upper intact and have an upper chambered in 260 for it also. If I buy the barrel, who can supply the other parts needed and do the work to build the upper. Thanks mike

    .260 Barrel Length

    I have a .260 Remington(not improved) and would like the tube shortened. I would love it at 20", but was thinking that might be too short. Please relate your life experiences regarding this. Thanks, David

    What's up? Is no one else shooting these? I'm not finding any reloading data out there except for some older stuff by Terry Cross.

    260 Remmington

    I wonder why Remmington doesn't come out with a 260 again. They could build in their 40X rifle. To me this would be a great time to reintroduce the 260 to the shooting market. Why drop the ball twice. Any insight on this.

    Powder recommendation for a .260 Remington

    I am currently shooting some factory loads from Blackhills ammo stuffed w/ 139 grain Lapua Scenars & it groups like a champ. I am now getting ready to start reloading all of the brass & I am perplexed on which powder I should use. Most of my reloading manuals give data for the IMR4350...
