[QUOTE="Viking264, post: 1234236, member: 97833"] Figured I'd ask one more question, since those of you who have replied to my initial inquiry clearly have experience in reloading for this cartridge. Earlier, I made reference to the Swiss 7.5x55mm. It's not uncommon for enthusiasts to neck .284 Win cases up to reload for the Swiss cartridge, as the case dimensions permit this without too much difficulty. I have looked on line, but can't see a case where someone went the other way with it. I understand that the operating pressure of the .284 Win is considerably higher than that which the 7.5x55 is typically loaded to, however the material that I have seen on proofing the Swiss cartridge is that it's taken to nearly 69K PSI. Obviously, "brass is not brass", meaning that there would be a difference in quality and thickness between brass made by different companies, but I'm just wondering if any of you have considered taking 7.5x55mm brass (which is a lot less expensive than the .284 Win brass at present) and necking it down for the .284, the way that so many people take .284 Win brass down for 6.5-284. If one were to try this, what would it entail? [/QUOTE]
