But when I changed to lapua 260 brass my accuracy for some reason wasn't as good but the speed spread was 13 fps . I'm reasonably new to reloading and having fun but I can wait to get my 260 humming haha
    Interesting what you say about lapua .260 brass.
    I lost a bit of speed but achieved a bit more accuracy when I formed and loaded up some unsorted rem brass.
    I need to do some more testing in case I just had a good day, but it is looking better than all my results with Lapua .260 brass so far.
