Who is actually chambering in .260 Rem. at this time?
« on: April 16, 2009, 01:11:22 PM »
     I have been looking on the net, and I can't seem to find but the Remington model seven and Kimber. Am I overlooking some?

there is the sako 75 and then the sako varmint with the single set trigger, and always the ruger stuff
Though taken from established manufacturers' sources and presumed to be safe please do not use any load that I have posted. Please reference Hogdon, Lyman, Speer and others as a source of data for your own use.

And Tikka T3 chambers the round. Remington still shows a 260REM  700CDL SF Mfr# 84018  ( Wholesale sports.com ) Aberta Canada

Some of the Mags report the 260 out going the 308 in tachical 1000 range .Well maybe there might be some life in this round yet.  Other than that there must not be too many sales .
Personally I did not see an improvement  over the 6.5x55 other than the 260 is in a short action .
Then also we have the 7mm-8.

Remington also has the SAUM witch I thought were good rounds . the 7MM a improved 280 AI .
The 300 SAUM could not match the Winchester 300 WSM

Try to find a 700 full lengh in 7mm SAUM, and you might get lucky if there is some old stock somewere .

Good Luck in your Quest.

I believe you can get the shaw rifle in anything you want.
You will not make peace with the Bluecoats, you are free to go.
