.260 Rem/ which bushing for the sizer die?

[Garvey]

I've got a barrel enroute. Today I'm going to order brass, bullets, and dies. I like bushing sizer dies. Which bushing do I need?

Thank you, .260 hand loaders!

Rem and Win 7-08 I mostly use .290, but I sometimes need .288 and .289

So are you telling me to just get some bushings .004" to .006" larger than the loaded case?

I use a .289" with Rem brass. If you get Lapua, you might need a little bit bigger size, since their brass is a little thicker in the neck.

Thanks Chad.

I'm gonna try Rem brass since it's significantly less expensive than Lapua and you don't always recover all of your brass at matches.

See you tomorrow. Bring a chinstrap for your hat, 10-20 mph north wind!

No, I stated the sizes required correctly.

I saw 7-08 and it threw me off.

Thanks.

288 or 289 depending on the brand of brass.
