    I bought Norma 284 brass a few years ago. That lot though was from a special run by Norma for Bullets.com in the. States.
    Bullets.com is now defunct and it is unclear what happened to their stock.

    NZ ammo now list it but Norma themselves do not although that may be because their website may not be up to date.

    Interesting.

    In F Class several of us found necked up 6.5/284 Norma brass didn't hack the pace with primer pockest loosening up after only a few loadings. I'm up to about my 7th loading with necked up Lapua brass and no problems yet.

    A typical F Class 284 load is eg 180gr Berger Hybrids at 2820-2840 fps ish, 32 " barrel.
