have a 260 rem.700 mountain rifle Had a model 7 that was 10 times worse and was ready to give up Maybe with good brass and powder my 1997 vintage rifle could deliver atleast hunting accuracy.I was shooting only factory loads.I guess I better get started with some loads I will have to find.Thanks for your help

Very nice having a tight weight spread. Interesting the Winchester brass is much lighter. Ive had plenty of dented Lapua necks, I run a expander mandrel in new brass to lighten and uniform the neck tension as well as true up the necks.

I recently did a similar comparison with .243 brass, Lapua, R-P, and Win. The Winchester brass showed the greatest variation in weight and wall thickness, the R-P less and the Lapua least of all. I internal deburred the flash holes and got about the same amount of chips from all three. Worst of all is the Lapua averaged 172 gr. The R-P 163 and the Win 160 gr. The latter two will shoot the same load with minimal velocity variation. The Lapua I have to drop a grain to match velocity. If you going to go Lapua, go all Lapua or you’ll be forever adjusting loads to match dope.
