    I have searched all over hell's half acre and 260 match ammo is getting damn hard to find. I'm hoping SouthWest's 260 makes out soon! If anyone has a range report on the first batch it would be great to hear about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Rthur

    SouthWest Ammunition will be running 260 ammo as soon as we work out our details with our brass supplier. We will be offering better brass to go with our top of the line components at the lowest prices available for premium match or hunting ammo.

    If I remember correctly, there had been a forum query for ideas regarding new loads.

    For my own druthers, I'd like to see, in this order, .260 142SMK or 140A-Max Load, .30-'06 175SMK M-72 equivalent, and perhaps a .280 Rem 175gr Match Load.

    I believe the latter two could breathe new life into a pair of very capable LR Chamberings. While the M-72 equivalent loading might appear to give up some capability with heavier projectiles, I believe that keeping its performance at the M-72 level makes it eminently useful as a Garand loading
