Likely 304 or 316

If it is 304 a magnet will stick to it a little. 316 does not attract a magnet at all. If you have to replace it for salt water use, I'd use 316. it is harder to find but doesn't cost that much more. Almost all of the rigging fittings will be 316.

This is very important

For each of these have different breaking strains.

H260 Wire

Hunter uses Hackensack 316 Stainless Steel 1/8"/3.2mm and 5/32/4mm stainless steel cable on the H260. Hunter provided me with a spec sheet that says the nominal breaking strength is 1780lbs and 2800lbs respectively. They recommend rigging be set at 20 percent of nominal breaking strength.
