Nosler Load Data states that a .260 Remington case should be 2.036. Brand new Lapua Brass measures 2.200. Why the difference ?

All brass ain't uniform. All throats ain't uniform which is why reloading frustrates&satisfies at the same time.


Only hits count.

Do a full length resize on one case . I've never had that problem but I've never loaded lupua brass.

Just checked the SAAMI spec, says 2.035. Very odd, IMO, Lapua is the best. Have you taken other measurements and compared to SAAMI spec?

I load 260 Remington as well. First brass I purchaced was Nosler 260 Rem. I trimmed to length just to keep uniform. Since then I have purchaced Hornady 243 Win and 7-08 brass to load with, run it through full length resizing die and trim to length. I suppose I could neck size and trim to length, (bolt gun), but I full length and trim just to have consistancy.

Lapua is normally excellent quality. I use it in 308 win and have been very pleased with the consistency and quality.

I would call customer service or the retailer where you purchased the brass and exchange it.
