I reload 7mm08 for my wife's rig and we have a nice load developed using lapua brass. It seems lapua is no longer making 7mm08 brass. What is the next best brass option? Can I use 308 lapua brass, neck it down and expect same results? Any other thoughts Thanks!

Peterson. You can neck down 308 brass, but be ready to neck turn as the case neck thickens.

My personal preference would be neck up. As dmagna stated earlier..260 necked up and done.

Never used Alpha brass,but if they sell 7-08 brass,I'd try it. That would be the easy button.

I am using Starline brass and have been completely satisfied with it. I am not a competition shooter, so not concerned about that last hundredth of an inch accuracy.
