6mmBR Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 +1 on the Lapua, very good quality. Reloading Solutions in Oxford are good as well. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Lapua is best, it needs to be run through the sizer die and trimmed to length before priming and charging etc. Trent Firearms, Reloading Solutions or anywhere that deals with Lapua stuff should have it.

Vermincinerator Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Why does the new brass need to be sized and trimmed to length Andy? Thats something i have never done and never needed to do. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Without stealing the thread, when I get a fresh box (boxes) of brass, I run all the cases through the sizing die then measure 20 - 30 getting an average OAL (unless I already have a case OAL) then I trim to .005" under the average so that all the brass is uniform or nearly uniform length. Something ive always done and it works for me - just done 300 6.4x47 cases and 300 6.5x284 cases that way,,,,,think I have now got RSI as they were all turned to size too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 You need to invest in a power trimmer adaptor mate they are brilliant, mine is like a bondhus key that fits into a socket on the trimmer and is powered by an electric screwdriver, very similar to a CV joint. Ian. PS. I think 6.5-284 is one of those calibres where Norma brass is cheaper then Lapua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I do use an electric screwdriver mate and still find it a pain in the sss, glad its a once only job per case life. I get my Lap brass pretty cheap mate, dont think the Norma would be cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sundance Kid Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Dave, Give Steve at Trent Firearms a call. he is an advertiser on here. Lapua is definitely the best. Followed by Norma Brass its not as hard and brittle as some and does not become case harden when worked as fast as some of the other case manufacturers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
