Lapua seems to be the most consistant these days.  I have used fed. win and rem also.  .308 necked down and 243 opened  up.  If you make samples of all of these you will find they will have different neck diameters and one that closest fits the size of the chamber of the rifle.  It seems like one that is .002 to .003 smaller than the chamber neck works best.

NORMA makes good  .260 BRASS.

REMINGTON =Not so good. the first few reloads are ok. Then soot starts to leak around the primers as the brass is a bit soft.

FEDERAL makes .260 brass-I do not know how good it is.
