Thread: 284 brass ..... why not.

A mate of mine shoots a 284.
He did a lot of research and decided that forming it out of Lapua 6.5x284 was the easiest/cheapest way to get good reliable brass.
Yes Winchester do, do a run of it, but the reports are that it's a bit shit.

The sizing up was super easy, but in his case he had a really tight chamber cut for his barrel and required neck turning, which if he'd had known about he could've had the chamber cut a bit bigger.
I'd be inclined to go that route as the initial sizing and potential neck turning will be a one off and the Lapua should outlast any other make of brass, making it cheaper in the long run.

Good bugger, I'll put my hand up for buying a bag off you ;-)

+1 I’ll take a bag if u can find any @southernman

Never found any brass, in Edmonton, out of stock at the P&D enterprise, who carries the largest amount of reloading goodies, its on order, and two of the online stores, had it, I see if I can bring sum, when next back, likely Mid May.

Aye you’re a gentleman & scholar

I'd take some as well if possible...but I imagine with all these orders you will be over the luggage weight limit!!!
