[expiper]

i am atempting to make the ctgs out of 284 brass and am finding the loaded round to have too large of neck dia (480) and it should be ~476 max ---is neck turning or inside reamin the solution---i have shot/loaded bottle neck ctgs for 50 years but never straight wall ctgs !! any advice will be welcomed and appreciated --- here are pics of the rounds made from 284 but with a bullet in them they are too "fat" to fit--Roger

In the past I've bought some from Forster. Call and see what they have for Diameters.

You are loading .452" NOT .458 bullets?? The bushmaster is one of those kinda oddball rifle rounds that use a "pistol" bullet. Your measurements make me wonder if that's not maybe what happened?

I didn't try to make brass for my bushy. I found Starline and have been using it.

Can't recall my loaded round measurements but I'd be glad to measure it if you'd need anything measured.


That forum is a great resource. I didn't post there. But learned a lot there.

thanks for the advice--your not being a wise guy--you are trying to help--they are 452 (most measure 451) i have found out that the factory brass has a rim diameter that is 3-5 thousands smaller than the original 284 brass because the bolt face is weakend when taken to the full size rim !!!---i have ordered two boxes of factory ammo to have brass to reload--thank you (and the others) for the good advice--Roger
