[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 839442, member: 1521"] Yes there can be differences. From what I gather, Winchester never made a 6.5x284, reloaders made it. Being a wildcat, it had many versions with different shoulder angles and clearances/reamers. ~2001 Norma officially introduced it with a 35deg shoulder and it was accepted into SAAMI. Unless holding the reamer and with a plan to form brass(like so many have), I would steer clear of a 6.5x284Win, and head for the official 6.5x284Norma. And I would use Norma or Lapua brass, to remove forming efforts (if satisfied with the Norma design). I'm sure others here know a lot more about this cartridge, as I've never had one. [/QUOTE]
