Title: Reloading for .260 Rem?
Post by: lokidog on September 23, 2016, 10:04:38 PM: I have a friend in Kalifornia who shoots this and is having a hard time finding lead-free ammunition. Ordering ammo online is apparently problematic for Kalifornians as well these days. He does not reload. If he/I provided materials, is anyone interested in doing some reloading? He has been shooting 130gr bullets for more info. I know nothing about this caliber so load info would be helpful as well.

I'm not sure what model rifle he shoots but can find out.

Thanks for looking!

In order to do it safely his rifle will be needed to work up the load. Their are so many possible issues that could arise that just loading a "standard load" is all but useless. Feeding issues, high pressure, too low pressure, ect. Ect.
