What's the deal with availability of 260 Remington Brass? It hasn't been plentiful in awhile, but can usually be found (Rem Brand) if you look around.

I just checked Bruno, Graf, Midway, Powder Valley and Widener's and nobody has any

Suggestions?

Thanks guys, I've necked up 243 and neck downed 7mm-08 in the past, got the dies etc to accomplish both tasks. I was just frustrated at the continued lack of 260 brass availability. It's become such a popular cartridge, you'd think Rem etc would have ramped up production by now.

Like they supported the .260 in the first place?

Almost makes you wonder why these guys are even in business...

I hear ya...look at how great the .260 has done despite the shitty support (ie: brass supply) from Remington.

I wouldn't give a hoot if they closed up production on their reloading components as long as someone else would make decent 260 brass at an affordable price.

at 92.53 per 100(powder valley price) I'll pass, that is twice the price of Win 7-08 brass

I just got some WW 7-08 brass and I'm extremely impressed with the quality and consistency. Things have sure changed from when I bought 300WM brass right after the Obamanation. That stuff took a lot of work to make usable.

NO SH*T, resizing 300WM brass down to .260 must have taken forever
