Re: 260 Rem Lapua Brass
why would they make brass for a caliber that competes with the 6.5x47 Lapua?

Re: 260 Rem Lapua Brass
Guys, here's something I found on LRH - <span style="color: #FF0000">"If you form the 260 cases from our 243 brass, they'll have the wrong headstamp. This isn't something you'll find on Wikileaks, but it's top-secret information from Finland, so I'd have to kill you if I told you. But if you'll wait 'til after the SHOT Show (next month in Vegas) that headstamp issue won't be a problem for you . . . if you get my drift.

Ah, I get it. So they are coming out with .243 brass that won't fit in a .260!! Nice safety feature!!!!

Oh it is real! Jutt probably will not see it till May, just like last year with the 22.250 and 308 Palma brass......

Yeah, actually we do see the demand. New catalogs are coming out shortly, just in time for the SHOT show. Might want to keep an eye out for them!

Re: 260 Rem Lapua Brass
My .260 shoots bug holes with remington brass. I guess if you are wealthy enough that prepping brass is a waste of your time Lapua may be a way to go. Not a luxury I can afford so I will just prep remington brass and continue to shoot 1/4 MOA inch groups with my .260 and remington brass.

I found using Remington brass was a false economy as the pockets went loose within 5 or so loads and leaked gas.Lapua is just so good and lasts .I get cheap Norma brass in 260 but would still prefer to neck up 243 lapua brass.
Shot show might be like the tooth fairy it's sounding like .Funny the 260 lapua rumor must almost come from the ice age eh!
