I have a 6mm/284 and I'm trying to find new 284 unprimed brass for it, but I'm having a hard time locating some. I can find 6.5/284 brass but I'm not sure if the 6.5/284 brass is just necked down from 284 without shortening the case and changing the shoulder angel.
Normally when I get new 284 unprimed brass I first neck it down to 257 and then take it down to 6mm using my FL resizing die. This does not shorten the case or change shoulder angle.
So my question here then is could I use the 6.5/284 brass, which I can get, and just run it in my FL sizing die and bring it down to 6mm and be ready to load some ammo? And also, if I can use the 6.5/284 brass, which would you recommend, Lapua, Norma, Hornady, or something else???
