coldweld 65 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 For anyone contemplating reloading for a .260 rem. Today i resized a SAKO .243 case to .260 rem to answer a question someone asked me. Cleaned the once fired case with US cleaner Tummbled to dry Lubed Sized Case lenght trimmed 100gn bullet fitted Chambered as per normal .260 rem case with no doughnut ! I would advise to buy .260 cases but if on a budget it can be done. ATB Coldweld Quote Link to post

Is best FAC officer see re-load thing , if no bullet purchace on licence,look like you no use rifle. If no buy bullet, he think you no use, so take gun off licence.

jamie g 17 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 i dont no how they work that out because bullet heads dont go on ticket. expanding heads go in the rfd book but not on your ticket here. and match heads have as many boxes as you like. again dont go on ticket. Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Look at the forms. Expanding amunition, including component parts (eg. bullet heads) count against the total allowable rounds held. They should be noted on your certificate! Quote Link to post
