6x284 brass

Wouldn't you wanna buy 6.5x284 brass or just regular 284 brass to make 6x284? Not trying to sound smart buy all means!

Yes, I know that I can make it out of 6.5 or 284 brass, but I heard someone is selling new brass in 6x284. I don't know if it manufactured or someone is reforming and making it out of the above for sale.
 
There was a buisness Grey Back Wildcats. Don't know if it's still in operation. From what I recall (depending on cartridge) about $2 apiece and that was a few years ago. It's much cheaper to get a Redding body die and in 1 pass you have a formed case.
 
It is smarter to use the lapua 6.5x284 brass for forming to get the neck long enough to trim to the right length.The .284 will work but the neck ends up being a little shorter.
 
Thank everyone. I have done several of my own wildcats. 6.5 BS(6br necked up) 242 Bic (308 necked down to 6mm and shorten), had one that had to run 8 times throw press just to form, not counting neck turn and trim to length( 7SHV) and about 4-5 others. Just was looking for 6x284 formed. I have some 6x284 that I want to sell and wondering what it worth. If anyone else can find new brass for sale, please let me know.
 
Put a price on it and post in the classifieds. If it sells you hit the price if not lower a bit.
