Lyman 260 Remington Rifle 2 Die Set
The Lyman 260 Remington Rifle 2 Die Set is engineered for precision rifle reloaders seeking reliable, consistent results when loading 260 Remington cartridges. Designed for shooters who demand accuracy and repeatability, this die set is suitable for both target and hunting applications. It offers essential tools for resizing and bullet seating, making it a practical choice for reloaders working with jacketed bullets in bottlenecked rifle cases.
Product Overview
This set includes a full length resizing die equipped with a decapping stem and neck expanding button, as well as a bullet seating die, providing the core components needed for efficient reloading of 260 Remington rifle cartridges. Manufactured by Lyman, a trusted name in reloading since 1878, these dies are constructed from durable steel to ensure longevity and precise operation. The full length resizing die returns fired cases to factory dimensions, promoting reliable chambering and extraction, while the bullet seating die allows for accurate, repeatable seating depth. For reloaders working with cast bullets, a separate neck expanding die is recommended for optimal neck tension. These dies are compatible with standard 7/8'-14 threaded presses, making them a versatile addition to most reloading setups.

Further Product Details
This die set is tailored for reloaders who prioritize accuracy and case longevity when assembling 260 Remington rifle ammunition. The inclusion of both a full length resizing die and a bullet seating die covers the essential steps for most reloading needs, particularly for those using jacketed bullets in bottlenecked cases. Reloaders using cast bullets should consider adding a separate neck expanding die to ensure optimal neck tension and prevent bullet deformation.
Installation is straightforward, with both dies fitting standard 7/8'-14 threaded presses commonly found in single-stage or turret reloading setups. Regular cleaning and light lubrication of the dies are recommended to maintain smooth operation and extend tool life. As with all reloading equipment, users should follow local regulations regarding component acquisition and ammunition assembly. Lyman stands behind their products with a reputation for quality and precision, and warranty support is typically available through authorized dealers. This die set is a practical, reliable solution for both experienced reloaders and those new to the 260 Remington cartridge.
