6mm-PPC to 6mm-PPC USA

Can a cartridge be reformed from 6mm-PPC to 6mm-PPC USA? Would it be better to start from scratch with a 220 Russian case?
Lots of different reamers out there. Hard to say but in reality if the brass were fired in a custom chamber then it should fit into a standard PPC-USA chamber. Most all custom chambers are tighter than the standard.
But nothing beats getting measurements from both.
 
My 6PPC-USA (I’ve owned and shot a few Sakos) is slightly more roomy than match 6PPC chambers.

As long as the brass hasn’t been hardened from repeated firings without annealing, I’d resize the brass in the die I used for the 6PPC-USA chamber and shoot it. The brass will be moving much less than what happens during a fire form.
