New 284 Lapua brass dimensions

[TroyG]

Does the new 284 Win Lapua brass mimic the 284 Win dimensions and the Lapua 6.5/.284 Norma will be bigger?

@TroyG, here is my chicken scratch notes comparing virgin pieces of each piece of brass.

Would a reamer cutting .501 at the .200 datum be too loose?

That’s what I run.

With my 284 Shehane and Lapua 284 Win Brass my loaded round is .315
I run a .319 or .320 neck...I think my latest is .320
Shoots amazing.

Your reamer neck size is strictly relative to a) are you going to shoot turned or no-turn brass and b)if you're turning, how much are you going to take off. Just about any neck size in a given caliber can be 'made to work' but .317 is just a relative number to how you do or don't prep your brass.

No turn means you need to get a .320 or .321 neck.
