308 brass?

[Caleb85]

I have a lot of 308 brass but am getting out of the 308 market ..is there anything I can make (form) out of all this brass?

7mm08. I think is the easiest.

How about 260 rem?

 

[AZShooter]

quite a few:

22 middlestead
25 souper
260 Rem
7-08 Rem
338 Federal
358 Win

Those are the common ones. I'll bet someone has made a .323" and 375 with this case too.

And let's not forget you can also use them to make the improved versions of those cartridges, too.

With improved versions in the mix that would more than double the variety. 35 or 40 degree shoulder angles etc.

I made a 30BR/308 a while back. Owned a 30 BR reamer and plunged it 1/2" deeper to headspace on 308 go/no go gauges. Had to turn the neck to .0105". It is a 308 improved with steeper shoulder angle with less body taper with a BR style turned neck. All because I didn't want to buy another reamer. It is very accurate. I use the fitted chamber neck approach for no sizing.

Ok I'm new to the " forming brass" how would I make 260 out of them?

Not much to it, run your 308 brass through a 260 FL die, you may need to turn the necks depending on what chamber your going to put them in.
Use imperial sizing wax, makes the forming nice and smooth.

+1 This is what I do too.

Put a dab of sizing wax on em and run em into a full length 260 sizer
