Title: Which calibers of brass can be simply necked down to 7mm WSM?
Post by: The Gobble-stopper on February 19, 2016, 11:25:09 AM: Have a friend that owns a 7mm WSM he is reloading but only uses the brass from his factory loads. And doesn't have a good supply. Or the extra money to buy empty brass. Thus he hits the popular ranges in the area to look for brass. With no luck. I know I use 30.06 brass for my .270, is there a more popular brass that he can use and neck down without any trouble to be used in the 7mm WSM. I tried to do research on the net, but couldn't figure out how to ask the right question. I thought I saw that simply running the 308 brass through his die would work. Is this true. And are there any other calibers that can be necked down. Without extra steps?
