Just saw over on www.6mmbr.com that Lapua is producing "260 remington brass" for 2011. It will be introduced at the Shot Show in Vegas. I have been waiting for years for this and my hopes were shattered years ago when Lapua cane out with 6.5x47 brass. Man..I can't wait for this!

great news indeed, the lack of lapua brass was the only reason I didn't build a 260, now the project is back on.

It takes about 5 minutes to neck-up 100 pcs of 243 lapua.
(so I can see why you waited)

Now I'm thinking of getting my 6.5x47 chamber made into a 260 remington.

EXACTLY. 427Cobra is right. I hate dealing with the donuts. It does make it easier now that a friend sent me a nifty reamer that knocks them out (thanks 427Cobra).

lapua 260 brass is such a non event, off shelf cheap n cheerful 6.5CM has all ya need its what the 260 always wanted to be from a design aspect.
Running $$ lapua brass in a tak rig is like tossing dollar notes into the weeds, use good components Win or hornady brass is perfect functional and not gonna make ya cry when ya lose it.
http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2010/04/hot-243-based-wildcats-the-243-br-k-and-6mm-super-x/
I just completed my version closer to BR-K, .350 neck and 40' shoulder no fireforming required just run thru die.

Why would necking up create a donut? </div></div>. Because a portion of the 243 shoulder becomes part of the neck in the newly formed 260.
