How many different cartridges can have be reloaded using Lapua brass? With forming and necking up and down I would imagine the list is quite large. The obvious ones would be the wildcats based on a parent cartridge that Lapua makes cases for. But what about using Lapua's excellent brass for loading other popular cartridges that Lapua doesn't make brass for.
For example:
The 220 Russian case can be used for the PPC rounds like 22PPC and 6PPC.
The .243 is a 308 case necked down to .243 so any case that can be made with a 308 can also be made with 243. Since Lapua offers both one can make the excellent .260 remington with by either necking up .243 or necking down .308.
the 308 can also be used for 7mm-08, 338 federal and .358 win.
The 6mm BR can obviously be used to form any of the BR family of cartridges although I don't know of any others.
The 6.5x284 is based on the 284win case so in turn Lapua 6.5x284 could be used to make 284win as well as all the x284 rounds like 6x284, 30x384, 338x284 and 375x284.
30-06 Springfield can be used for many great cartridges like 25-06, 6mm-06, 6.5mm-6, the very popular 270win, 280rem, 8mm-06, 338-06 and 35 whelen.
While they obviously make the brass for their own calibers (338 and 6.5x47) they have been used for many wildcats and I'm not sure of their usage for forming any other popular rounds. I know I've left out a few but thats about all I can think of so if anybody else can add to it please do.
