I’m curious, what primers are you all using? I’ve been sticking with Federal 205s, but I’m open to suggestions!

I swear by CCI BR2 primers for consistency in my loads. They might be a bit pricier, but worth it for precision.

For shooting in the field, I find the .260 Rem really shines with lighter bullets. 120 gr options seem to have less drop and drift for quick shots.

I think this conversation is super helpful! For loads, I’ve recently switched to a hybrid approach— mixing bullets for practice and competition. Saves costs!

25

True, but I still feel that heavier bullets provide better knockdown power. It depends on your needs!

I’m also looking for reliable .260 Rem reloading data. I’ve been struggling with inconsistent velocities. What powders are you all using?

I’ve had good results with H4350 for .260 Rem. I get nice consistent velocities with it!

I prefer Reloader 26 for my .260 Rem loads. It’s great for accuracy and gives me solid performance without pressure signs.

Thanks for the powder suggestions! Have any of you experienced pressure signs with these loads? I’m worried about that.

Pressure signs can be tricky. I’ve seen them when using certain case brands with H4350. Always check the primers and case necks! Anyone else?

32

Exactly! A keen eye on those can save a lot of headaches.

I’ve dealt with inconsistent velocities too. It might help to experiment with different seating depths. That made a difference for me.

I often wonder if it’s just my scale, but then again, I know how critical uniformity is in reloading. How do you double-check your weights?

35

I use a trickler to make sure I’m spot on. Slow and steady wins the race!

36

I’ve learned to laugh at my early mistakes during reloading. It’s all part of the journey! Anyone else dropped a tray of sorted brass before?

Haha, yes! It’s a rite of passage! But seriously, consistency in cartridge dimensions is crucial. Anyone faced issues with that?

I’ve noticed some dimensional variances in cases from different manufacturers. Measuring case length is essential before loading.
