So I need some new brass for my 6.5-284 Norma. My current load is worked up with Lapua brass but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. So my question is are Nosler or Hornady brass any good? They are what I can find in stock. I'm sure my load will need some tweaking but my last batch of Lapua I got a ton of reloads out of and I don't want to wast money on junk brass if it's going to be 2 loads and done. So what's your guys experience and thoughts here?

Not sure how it compares. Last I heard, lapua is not producing any .473 case head rounds except the creedmoor. That might not still be the case, but it was not too long ago.
As for the norma, I've had decent luck with norma stuff when I've used it.
I brought in a case of this 6.5x284 on request, apparently the project went south and I've been tripping over it since.
I still have several hundred pieces I'd like to move out of here.

I have 65 pieces of new Norma brass head stamped 6.5-284 for $75.00 which includes the ride to you if you are interested. I personally hate Nosler brass as they lose the primer pockets after three loadings in high press rounds
