[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1288497, member: 30902"] No I haven't. I tried several and settled on the Prime and shot it until I'd built up quite a supply of brass. As well as it's shot for me I'll probably continue using the prime for varmints and predators. Once I got set up for reloading the .260 I started loading the Peregrine VRG4's and VLR's which could not have performed better on both deer and hogs including a couple of very large boars both taken with the .260's. They performed equally well for me in the .300's and 7mm STW so they've become my go to hunting bullet for everything now. To be clear though, the Prime factory ammo is the best shooting factory ammo I've ever bought. If I were shooting any sort of competition I wouldn't hesitate to show up on "game day" with nothing but it to shoot. I'm not used to shooting dime sized groups on a regular basis but I have with both of my .260's. To be honest I didn't even realize Hornady had started making .260 Ammo. I've shot a lot of Hornady factory ammo in a number of different calibers over the years and was always pretty happy with it so if I were you I wouldn't be afraid to give it a try. The one knock I have with the Prime is that they are only using the Target VLD bullets at least for the .260 loads because I simply won't shoot target ammo at game animals. I piled up quite a few coyotes with it over the fall and winter though! [/QUOTE]
