Got a notice from MidwayUSA that they have Winchester 284 brass in stock.

Have at it folks.

Good Luck, Great news for the .284 folks, let everyone know if the Quality is on Par.

Haven't opened the bags yet to check them out but the bags have "Made in USA" on them.

What if it was only the bags that were made in the USA, and the contents were banged out in some 3rd world S hole by a pack of semi-trained howler monkeys

These are the thoughts that keep me up at night.

It will NEVER work in a Lapua or Norma chamber if it like the old standard WW .284 brass.

This and the Norma stamped .284 brass would be the same though wouldn’t they?

There is .005 difference in the old WW-284 brass than the newer Lapua & Norma brass

Where on the case? What problems does that cause? To ask a stupid question.

I believe he is talking the back end. Could cause bolt click depending on chamber. Matt

Can you elaborate on this? I’m in the process of building a .284 and this could be a huge issue.
