Thread: 260 Rem, AI & Imp

to those that ai'd the 260 would you do it again? I like my 260 but have to trim every reload at the moment and its getting old. Just started some norma reloads and they havn't stretched at all yet so that may help. did you run them the same COAL?

Don't need to trim my 260AI brass...doesnt really grow. I kinda did do it again by then getting a 280AI. Much easier with factory AI brass.

I didn't go Ackley 40deg, I went 30deg Whitley (short throat). I got the reamer cut and it's done two rifles so far. 260 Imp 30?
I'm still pissing around and about to try different powder but my main load for the last 100+ has been RL17 and 143gr ELDX @2940fps. I'm in the process of fire forming my second hundred Lapua cases and got some slower RL26 to try. I've wrecked about 10 cases with too much pressure on the primer pockets but not stretched them yet.
