I believe that for sure. Is your brass giving up the ghost? I have four firings and the shoulders don't move at all.

Neck down some .30-06 and then fireform? It will look a little weird with initial sizing since the neck has to go forward a bit, but, it should chamber if the sizing die is set right.

New high country. Truing to get some rounds together for first shots.

Dang, it is a great caliber, but obviously not one to start from jump street during these times.

Would rather just wait for brass and bullets instead of spending time and components to form brass

Are you near one of the larger stores? Our Sportsman's is getting in more brass every week. They even have an end shelf full of Lapua brass of different sizes.

They even have an end shelf full of Lapua brass of different sizes.Got a basspro nearby so I'll hit that but they have so little stock that they basically had to use their reloading shelves for other merchandise at this point. I might hit it tomorrow while the sammich maker is at work. I already know that there is zero chance for brass but hoping they might have a box or too of 7mm pills that I can snap up.And buy I'm holding off on buy factory ammo. I'd much rather spend my $ on components. I've powder and primers to work with. Dies will be here today. Just need the brass and bullets at this point.

I make it a point to hit up Sportsman's on the day the truck unloads. That way if they do get some primers or powder I want I can grab it before the 'masses' get there.

Which .284 bullets are you looking for? I can definitely spare some 150 GMX.
