I plan on reloading for my .260. It will mostly be used for hunting using Berger, sierra gameking, and maybe Hornady SST.

Re: .260 die set....
Redding and Forster would be my bet.
Narrow down from there based on how much you want to spend and if you want to neck size or just FL size.

Re: .260 die set....
I reload for a 260 and I recently sold off all my Redding dies(all calibers, 4 sets in all)and replaced them with Forster. I notice no difference in the ammo produced by either one, but I prefer Forster. I like Forster's micrometer seater better than Redding due to being able to be zero'd, if that means anything to you.
Concerning Berger bullets, my Redding standard die set for 260 left a slight ring around the nose of VLD's during seating that my new Forster dies do not. No difference in accuracy was observed with the ring however.

Get a die set labled .260 Rem. and all will be well. Believe me, personal preferences aside, the brand and price really won't make any significant difference in what you can do with the dies.
