I would guess they haven't stopped producing it, they just cannot meet current demands.

They're likely out of components.

Yep, .260 Remington brass is about obsolete right now.

Unless you are buying 260 Lapua from MileHigh, or Grafs which have it in stock......... Just sayin.

 

[Bradu]

I meant Remington brand brass since a lot of rifles aren't chambered for Lapua brass

I thought that .260 was experiencing somewhat of a revival among tactical shooters.

I'd say it is but Remington .260 brass is nowhere to be found, as well as .243 brass to resize to .260. The chambers on my .260s can only run Rem. brass. That's why I'm switching to 6CM.

That's what I meant, the brass is obsolete not the caliber. I personally love the cartridge and was getting frustrated until my brother ran across about 800 new Remington brass a while back, I paid almost .75 cents a case but the rifle wasn't much good without it.

I have never seen actual 260 Remington brass for sale at stores. Finding Winchester 7mm-08 is easy, and necking it down is easy once you remove the decapping rod. Otherwise, my die seems to crush cases. No issues requiring inside reaming, outside turning, or any donuts on the cases either.

260 shooter be patient, we will no longer be at the mercy of Remington. We up our order from 200,000 pieces of 260 brass, to 1,000,000 pieces of brass. Time line is tough to give, but between 2 to 4 months we will have it.

It will have our head stamp on it, it will be made by a great ammo company much larger than us. Better than Remington brass in my opinion, and it is going to be nice to not rely on distributors anymore.

Thanks all,

Zach

Cool, you just changed my mind on my barrel back to 260 instead of 6.6 Creedmoor

Any plans for a 2900fps+ load with 130's?

That is easy to do!

 

[Graham]

I am only getting 2770-ish with their 139 Scenar factory load. I would think that 200fps more is safely possible, especially in Lapua brass.

Hey swammo -- are you guys offering any 260 Rem loads in Lapua brass at this time? Great news on the new brass distributor. I'm looking forward to seeing it available soon. Thanks.
