Lapua-Norma-RWS Brass?

[elkaholic]

Hi guys....Does anyone which of these manufacturers makes .270 or .280 brass and how would you rate each? Thanks.......Rich
p.s. I would also be interested in any European cartridges of the same head dimensions and at least as long as the .270.

Do all three make brass for those cartridges?

you can use 7x68 rws for either.

I just found some specs on the 6.5x68r and the head size is listed at .524" rather than the .470" of the .270/.280??

That is the rimmed version isn't it? I think there is a standard 6.5x68????

 

[backwoods83]

6.5 and 7x64 plus 6.5 and 7x68 should still be available in the standard non rimmed version with .471 case head and .473 rim, but it may have been discontinued, but i wouldnt know why, they have several different uses as parent cases.

Yes, the R is the rimmed version and there is also a std.
