[QUOTE="noflyers, post: 314212, member: 18738"] Hey guys I am new to the forum here and I have a question regarding reloading .260 Rem. Since .260 loads are a little scarce to find I went ahead and bought a Lee Breech Lock Challenger Press Kit but the sad part was the guy that sold it to me knew nothing about reloading. (just a salesman moving merchandise) So my questions is this what dies ie full length, neck sizing or what do you recommend I get and what brass should I start with .243 and neck up, .308 or try to find some .260 new brass. I would like to load either Berger VLD's or Lapua 139 gr Scenars since the rifle I had built has a 1 in 8"twist. I know it is a loaded question (no pun intended) but I really want to start out right with the minimum amount of headaches and the correct equipment. Any suggestions would be appreciated because I don't think I am doing myself justice by shooting 120 factory loads:rolleyes:. I figure once I start reloading the bug will have bitten and I would like to start out right! Thanks and I apologize for the long post. [/QUOTE]
