Putting togeather a 260 gasser and wondering if someone makes small base dies for that caliber? Or do I just do the extra step of running it through my 308 small base dies. Also what reloading manuals have 260 ar loads? Thanks in advance.
 
Re: small base dies for .260

just run them through a 308 small base body die, I have done this in the past and it has worked great, as for loads start low and work your way up, gas guns are a different animal compared to bolt guns

If the brass is new to begin with you may not need a SB die, when I had my DPMS LR308 Plano FL die worked just fine.

RCBS makes a .260 Small base die set as part of their AR series with a taper crimp seating die.
