Hi all. I am seriously thinking about buying an AR10 in .260 Rem (ok, so i'm 90%). But form what I've been reading, .260 commercially available brass is of spotty quality, and it seams that most serious shooters are forming their own brass from .243, 7-08, or 308 brass.
My "reloading" skills are pretty basic. I reload .45ACP, 38spl/ 357mag and 6.5 Grendel, but I'm really just reloading, not doing anything fancy.
So, What is the best starting point; .243, 7-08, or .308. I don't have any guns in those calibers, so mixing up brass is not a concern... yet . Is one better or easier than any of the others? .308 brass is a lot cheaper than the others, but it seems that most folks form their .260 from .243. Any reason? Also, is this something that I can do if I pay close attention and am careful, or is this an "advanced" maneuver, that I should not attempt until I get some instruction from an experienced reloader?
Anything that I may have missed or should know?
Thanks in advance
