Hornady modified case in .260- like trying to find a hen's tooth!

[Wannashootit]

Finishing my son's Savage .260 build, and finding a LNL modified case is effing impossible. It's a CBI barrel with the .260 Match chamber so I want to seat the 140 Amax's (also have the 140 hpbt's) out long...and try to get some loads together for some OCW and ladder testing.

Thought I'd read somewhere of a way to make them from a piece of brass, but can't find a thread on that anywhere.

Little help?

P.S....pet load with that boolit, and H4350 anyone?

Thanks!

Could you buy a 7-08 and neck it down. Or a .243 or 308 either

Try opticsplanet.com, it doesn't say "out of stock" and allows you to add it to your cart, but don't get your hopes too high, I have no idea if their site uses real time inventory management.

Can't you just drill and tap one yourself?

 

[greggrissom]

I made one myself but you have to have the correct drill bit and tap to match the threads on the LNL

I have one I'll sell you

Wasn't there a guy on here making and selling modified 260 cases?

Drill/tap the primer pocket 5/16-36, that's the thread size for the Hornady tool. Or do as another poster suggested and neck up/down a modified case from the same line.

Most guys find their sweet spot anywhere from 42-43gr with H4350 and 140's.

I have one I'll sell you

If he doesn't want it, I'll happily take it. I can't find one either.

This is all part of hornadys plan to replace 260 with 6.5 creedmore!

I just bought 3 taps from victor machine because of the minimum order. I promised one to a friend. I'll ship the extra one for $13 if anybody wants it. My total for 3 was $37

Do you still have one available? I am putting together a model 12 build. I have everything but the modified case and go no go gauges.

so what do you make it out of. I am new to bolt actions and am working on a .260 rem savage 12 build.

I'd recomend using a fired case and making your own. More precise this way, in my thinking. Also, you can send fired cases to hornady to be modified. But a drill and tap make it quite easy to accomplish on your own. YMMV

Their instructions for a modified case are in the box to the left, on the cover page of this PDF. It is an $11 service.
