[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1037419, member: 77514"] Thanks, Nosualc, for clearing up the issue about the small primer. I knew that Jim talked as if this was a good thing but I did not think to ask him why. It does make sense now. There seems to be a lot of variation in opinions regarding expected barrel life for the three as well. If you look at the load manuals, the max load for a particular bullet weight is very close for all three. Is there really much difference in expected barrel life among the three? I was considering the .260 because I have lots of .308 I can neck down, but by the time I buy the dies to neck down and a neck turning tool I can buy the Lapua brass for about the same cost without all the additional work. I have only spoke to Jim twice now, but I have heard lots of nice things about him. You only have to talk for five minutes or so to KNOW that you are talking to someone who is very knowledgeable. In my discussion with him, it was very obvious that the Lapua was his favorite of the three. Of course, he did then say that any of the three would be a good choice. I want to thank each of you for your input. Each of you have given me something to think about. I guess now I just need to decide which I want to try. I will let you know what I wind up with and how it performs. Dennis [/QUOTE]
