[QUOTE="LB, post: 55374, member: 2721"] When you say that you were "fireforming" were you using a full charge and a bullet, or a wad of newsprint, soap, etc. and a fast powder, as you might if you had formed your brass from some other parent cartridge. Is that based on the 7X57 Mauser, or what? In any event, you need to either change powder, or use a mag primer; if you simply mean that you were using normal handloads with factory, virgin brass. I don't have a 260, and don't know much about it, but it seems like it would be hard to go wrong with either 4350 or 4831 with bullets from 120 to 140 grain. Maybe Reloader 15 might be a better choice, depending on your bullet? Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
