[QUOTE="zigliss, post: 314216, member: 13421"] noflyers, good calibre you have there - i love my 260Rem custom. Others will be along to comment but here is what works for me: - Nosler custom brass (expensive but saves fannying around with case prep) - Redding type S bushing neck dies (can't remeber the bushing size at the moment) - neck size only and trim when necessary... - COAL: 2.775 Load: - 139gr Lap Scenars - CCI BR primers - 43gr Viht N160 It is a fairly hot load so I would recommend starting 10% lower and working up to check it is okay in your rifle. For me this yeilds 2680fps (+/- 16fps)through a 26inch barrel. I regularly shoot up to 1200 yards with good results. PS - I use the same press as you! There are folks with very strong opinions of what is a good (or bad) press. Frankly until I get much better/more experience with reloading the Lee will be just fine. I would spend your money on decent dies - again just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
