Case forming dies to push shoulder back .155 on a 284 Shehane?

[josh shrum]

I am working on a project and need to get a set of case forming dies to push the shoulder back on a 284 Shehane by .155

35 degree shoulder

Lapua brass

Any suggestions for what specific dies might work?

Thanks!
Josh

Why not start with regular 284 brass? Isn't the shoulder pushed forward on the Shehane improved version alread?

A trim die may work??

I am hoping that the 270-284 from 284 will get me close enough for fireforming, waiting to hear back from an RCBS and/or Huntingtons reps with their thoughts.

Thanks
Josh

270-284 wont work well. The Shehane is blown out in diameter by 0.010 from the parent case so you'd be squeezing all that back in. Straight 284 dies would have the same issue.

If you want to keep the 284 Shehane body diameter and push the shoulder back too, probably your best bet is to order a FL 284 Shehane die from Whidden and have them turn the base down 0.155.

Whatcha makin?

Your looking to have the Shehane body taper but reduce body length to get more neck out of it?

Thanks Erik!!

This wont be a Shehane in the end, that is just the best way I could describe what I needed. Hopefully he can help get me what I need.

PBike, son of Uthink Uknow here makes dies to both push shoulders and to redux necks, if desired. I looked for Paul but couldn't remember his board name. Reach him through Uthink - - ...
