OK, so I'll be the one with the dumb question - "too thick" for what? Are the neck walls so thick that loaded rounds won't chamber because the neck of a loaded cartridge won't fit in the neck of your chamber? Or are the necks just thicker than you are accustomed to? If loaded rounds chamber without difficulty, "thicker" neck walls shouldn't be a problem if they are very consistent. Or perhaps - are you having feeding problems in a semi-auto application??? If so, disregard everything I've said as I know literally nothing about reloading for semi-auto.
P.S.: I have no personal experience with Peterson brass although was considering buying some to "kick the tires"... |

Deleted, since your not going to be able to make the brass from the parent case I listed.

My take, Lapua brass will be very inform, have a neck wall thickness of .0145, comes in small primer size that the flash channels are drilled/not punched, and very, very good brass if you don't want to have to do much brass prep/don't mind playing the cost for the brass On the other hand, dirty LC M118 LR or Match once fired brass is cheap enough by the 1K to start with/prep, end up with about a 20% rejection if your really picky in the end, so your only into 800 case for around $150 (from your first 1K lot) isntead. https://www.brassbombers.com/images/012.jpg As for GM205 verses GM210M primers (small verses large match primer), are you a good enough shot/ have a good enough rig that you will be able to tell the difference in the end? In my F class 308 rigs at 1K, can get smaller groups with small primer cases, but not enough to really justify the cost of having to buy Lapua brass to get the small primer brass to begin with. So again, if your looking for no case prep at all, then hard to beat Lapua brass. If you are on the other had that tight groups comes from case prep, then something like LR/Match once fired case as parent cases to end up with your desired cases, may be the way to go isntead. Hence it not just 6.5 that I create from 7.62 brass, but other's like 243 when I need a match case for it as well. |

@Torchy
tagging for outcome/your thoughts. The 300NM is the next rifle on my list and I'm just now getting serious about it. |

I was *this close* to going 300NM when I was looking into ELR rounds/rifles a few months back, but the lack of Lapua brass caused me to wave off. Did the same for the 28 and 30 Nosler as everyone was extolling the virtues of the rounds....as long as they could get brass.
Went with a 338LM and figured I can rebarrel to a 300NM, or whatever the latest and greatest magnum bolt face cartridge is at that time, once I burn out the 338LM barrel. |

Yes I am loading for my GAP-10 G2(AR-10) and it very much has a tight chamber. My match ammo with Lapua brass comes in @ .292. Also when I measure FGMM and Hornady Match ammo they both also come in at .292 neck OD. When I loaded up the Peterson it came in at .295 (with same bullets as my lapua handloads). If I chamber a round I almost have to mortar the rifle to get the round out with the Peterson. Cheers! |

As with anything, there are lots of thing listed in catalogs and web sites that are still vapor wear.
Look at Winchester 284 brass. Winchester production forecast a production run in May 2012. That never happened, but fast forward six years and we have recent production 284 brass. |

So this is pretty new to the market and I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with it yet. Hate to say it but I bought some new Peterson brass in 6.5Creedmoor about 10 months ago and all the necks were too thick. Like .002-.003 too thick! I am absolutely not buying brass to have to neck turn it so I heed more caution when considering their brass now. Looking for feedback, post it up if ya got it! |
