Thread: 6.5-284 to 284 to 6.5-284?

Hi.

I built up a 284 a while back and went down the usual route of buying Lapua 6.5-284 brass and running it through a 284 sizing die for use in the 284. I have now bought a 6.5-284 rifle and wonder whether I can size some of the fired “284” brass back down to 6.5-284. I suspect I will have to trim to length. The reason I want to do this is that Winchester brand 284 cases are now available from Gunworks so I would like to use 284 marked cases in the 284 and 6.5-284 marked cases in that rifle.

Anyone have any experience with the Winchester 284 brass that a Gunworks is selling? Any reason the current super-accuracy in my 284 could change with a change in brass? The Lapua 6.5-284 brass has been very nice and it does seem a pity to change but it is probably the safest option.

Thx Ross
