Thread: 284 Neck Die options ....or not

Sorry another question to get off my chest. Should I get a Hornady universal Neck die that seems to do multiple 7mm cases and should work for the 284 or just partial Full length size by turning the full length die back a full turn?

I have 40 odd once or twice fired cases and can’t see anyone that makes a reasonably priced 284 specific neck sizing die?

I just FL size every time using my RCBS FL sizing die. Not sure if that helps or not sorry.

What do you call a reasonable price? Workshop innovation have a Redding 284 neck die for $92

I put that in the reasonable basket. It was the $300 Forster and other ones I saw that were too expensive. I’ll look up Workshop Innovation. Thanks for the tip

Just buy a headspace comparator from Hornady and wind your die back till you get 2-3 thou bump on your shoulder. Doesn’t work your brass as much as full resize to SAAMI and a lot of top target shooters still do it that way. Also means you won’t get caught out while hunting with rounds that the bolt can’t close on.

I always f/l size as its what iv got but i check each sized brass threw rifle befor moving on to the next step

It defies me how this https://www.precisionreloading.com/c...=FRS&i=BBK2521
can cost NZD$300.00 here.
I have several (not.284) all purchased from Precision Reloading and landed here by various means, they're a good die and are best bought in this set with 3 common bushings.

Hi. Thanks for all the replies and advice. I ordered a Redding as per Mick Hunter. Didn’t come up when searching as you had to choose the caliber so thanks for the tip. Also grabbed a set of Calipers, some 210 primers and a small Hornady electronic scale as the Lee beam one is pretty tricky. Thanks
