[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1240052, member: 86754"] As I mentioned, I started out using the 284 Win brass to neck down for the 6.5/284. Later in life, when it was standardized, I tried both the Hornady and the Norma brass, and I found them both much softer than the Winchester. No biggy, just saying. I haven't seen any 284 Win brass in years myself. I don't know much about Tikkas, admittedly, but there is just so much one can do with a 22" barrel. I'm not sure how much you could get from a 7mmWSM, but I haven't seen much of that ammo, nor brass in a very long while. I had a 7mm Express (280) in 22" and I got 2750 with the Nosler 168 ABLR. It had a long throat, was in a Mod 700 long action, of course. All it will cost you is a bit of time and money to experiment, heck, you might end up with a winning combo! One last mention...the 7mm SAUM "supposedly" will give 280 velocities...if you can find brass, that may work better than the 284. [/QUOTE]
