What brass for 284 win.

[std7mag]

Whatever happened with the 284 brass Shiraz (Grizzly.com) was having made a few years ago? Didn’t work out?

It was Norma brass, and i think i ended up with $160 ish dollars for 100 after all the shipping & such.
Shiraz went out of business.

Now considering the Peterson... would I need to turn necks a bit if I stick with that reamer?

Peterson brass would give you 0.003” or less clearance with a .318” neck. My reamer is .319” and my gun did not shoot well consistently until I turned the necks down to get .004”+ neck clearance. I would go .320” for a no turn chamber.

Just to clarify, Shiraz (grizzly.com) didn't go out of business. By appearance, he has simply chosen to change his business model by focusing on the wood/metal working side of his business. I have no doubt the shooting industry items he sold were small drops in the bucket compared to the rest of his business.

That all being said, I'll miss his Bald Eagle rifle cases.

A guy I shoot with just bought a BE case, so they must be available.

He has a small smattering of cases still available as well as other shooting related items. He’s just letting everything shooting related run out. Unfortunately all the longer cases that most f-class guys would need are gone.

45 and 50" available as closeout items.....nothing longer than that. My wife ordered another Champion's Choice for me last October as a November birthday gift.....still no joy as their supplier is in China.

Thanks, I've read that the Shehane doesn't like a tight neck, but I'm turning necks for a 308 already - so perhaps I'll stay with the .318 and try no-turn Lapua vs turned Peterson for data.
