220 Russian? or why not 6mm PPC and or 6.5 Grendel?
221 maybe, 222 is dying an agonizing death, 223 not dying but how much market share for high grade is there?, 204 a bit specialized.

You can make some of the higher volume stuff from 220r instead of just one. Grendel brass would be good if it had small primers and flash holes. Some of the brass mentioned here the folks buy 100pcs every 10yrs- ppc shooters buy thousands
With the new Berger 85.5gr long range bullet, there will be a large demand for excellent brass that can hold primer pocket dimensions with a stiff load for a muzzle velocity of 3000+ out of a 30" barrel.

The 280 AI is much more popular than I would have thought. Western elk hunters love it. There is no good brass at all for it. Who ever makes 280 or 280 AI brass will have the whole market.

If you get your reamer made for using lapua 30-06 youll be lots happier. They work very well

True, but you lose a lot of neck. One of the things I love about the 280 ai is you can use 160-180s in the same chamber and stay above the doughnut. Either way, theres a lot of 280 AIs out there that need good brass, a big market for a brass manufacturer imo.
Nosler makes/sells .280Rem and .280AI bras along with Norma, Hornady and Winchester.

Little difference in the ones you listed and what we really need
If the demand was there I expect some other maker like Lapua or ADG would pick it up unless they don't need or want the business.
Further to that Alex the 280AI is also a damn fine F-Open cartridge and an excellent option for those not wanting to go down the magnum path and shoot a SAUM.
Thank you for reaching out and checking in on the WSM’s. Right now, we are not working on them. We will eventually make them I am sure I just don’t know when. We jumped the gun when the owners decided to announce them at the 2018 Shot Show. Since then they have learned to not announce a caliber until we actually have it. I do apologize for any and all inconveniences.

Yes, I did have my hopes up. winter of 2018 they teased with 270 and 300 wsm. I emailed Peterson for an ETA but could never get a date. Keep hearing it was in development. Then we get this thread and it sounded like it might materialize...But now it dosent sound good. Can't make WSM brass but they make 7.62x54R, 33XC and Cheytac. I get people need good brass but picking these over WSM brass? I wish Lapua or ADG would come thru. Rant over!!!!
