[QUOTE="dcottrell, post: 314279, member: 20154"] Hey, congrats on the .260 REM. I just bought a LR-260 from DPMS. Had some gas block problems so I recently sent it back for servicing (those guys at DPMS are great). Anyway, the advice you have gotten so far is great. Here is what I would add. [LIST=1] [*]First, is your gun a bolt or semi-auto? For bolt guns, neck sizing is great, but not so much for semi-auto's. (I have a set of Lee Collet dies that are of no use to me if you want to talk about that). [*]With your twist, seems the heavier bullets are gonna work for you. I had good luck with 140 gr Sierra Game Kings. [*]The advice you have gotten on brass is solid. The REM brass from what I have heard is not so good. The nice thing about starting with .243 is that the brass is a bit cheaper. I had someone give a bunch of once fired at the range the other day. I don't mind a little case prep. I'm gonna be handling this stuff quite a bit already. [/LIST] Good luck with that! [/QUOTE]
