Re: Wilson dies
I'm getting my .308 Rem 700 rebarreled in 260 Remington. I want to use Wilson dies. This is what I think I need:
1. Neck die (comes with base?)
2. Neck die bushing (in MY size, whatever that is)
3. Bullet Seater
I think I get a "base" to set the die on and the neck die comes with a decapping pin. I also need an Arbor press.
Is this all I need in the way of Wilson products? I don't need the seperate decapping pin and its base?
None of the stocking dealers (midway or sinclair) seem to have a neck die in 260 Remington in stock. Do you know anyone that might have one?
What kind of a press do you have?

Re: Wilson dies
I recommend the Wilson 260 seater with Sinclair micrometer top, Redding Type S FL die, Carbide Floating Expander, Redding .290 Ti bushing, I use the K&M arbor press with seating force attachment, but it sucks balls to make hieght adjustments, a Sinclair arbor press is alot easier to work with, I recommend against getting the 308 neck die(yes it will work with 260) for now, but later if you decide to get one also get the base because the neck die doesn't come with one, I'm having really good luck with Win 7-08 brass, after 12 reloads most of the primer pockets are still GTG, I have started annealing my brass every other firing to make it last longer, H4350 is the powder to use, 139 Scenars loaded at the lands lit of by CCI primers.

Re: Wilson dies
The 308 neck sizer works for 260? Why not get the 260 sizer? Wilson lists a 260 neck sizer. Is it that NO ONE has it?

Re: Wilson dies
Really? That's actually good news. It means midway HAS it! Though for some reason they list a 260 neck sizer also (that they dont have in stock).

Re: Wilson dies
+ 1 get the ti coated
i'd get 3 bushings under over range , cheaper ones when you find the one your brass ,bullets, and rifle like drop the coin for the ti one.
also get micrometer top on seater, and spend the extra coin on stainless.
are u hammering or getting arbor press?
ps. im still using inexpensive lee powder thrower.
