Can you resize 284 shehane back to 284?

[Falfan2017]

This may be my dumb question of the day.

I have a few hundred low round count 284 shehane brass from a previous barrel. I think my next barrel will be a straight 284. Is it possible to resize the 284 shehane brass back to 284? Or better to just sell it and buy new.

It’s 6.5-284 lapua headstamp if that matters.
Thanks

It is not a dumb question. The difference between a "straight" .284 case and a Shehane case is very minimal. I did it with 200 cases and saw zero difference. As a matter of fact, the sizing job was so easy that I actually thought I was sizing a "straight" .284 that had just been fired! Just run them in your .284 die and you got it!

It's only .010". .475 at the shoulder for a 284, .485 for the Shehane. As @ShootDots said, size away and go have fun.
