260 Remington loading questions

[Snafu12]

Anybody know how 243 lapua brass capacity (necked up) compares to other 260 brass?
If your shooting 142 SMKs are you jumping them?
If so how much?
If your in the lands how far?

Thanks

Re: 260 questions

capacity? about the same, all will vary some.
i jump 142's.
about .040"... find your sweet spot, suggest moving in .020" increments off the rifling then try it on or in the rifling about .005-.010.

Re: 260 questions

Lapua is better brass with out a doubt.

I shot Lapua brass in my other barrel, its thicker than Remington 260 brass or Win Brass thats necked up or down.

I think a compressed load was around 44grs H4350.
Currently i shoot Rem 260 brass with a 142SMK .001-.003 in lands
Prefer the Rem Brass I don't have to worry about the donut problems anymore.
