Necking up or down/changing calibres

[wolf308]

me and another dude are interested in how do you /or whats the best way to neck brass to the 300H&H???

300H&H,8mm rem mag and the 7mm STW are all just necked down versions of the 375 right???

so what would be better going up or down??? in one step or do an intermediate or something??? anybody make 300 H&H this way? in my minds eye youd want to go up so you wouldnt have to ream correct???the 7 mm STW is probably way more hard to come by than 300 H&H though right???so that means necking down 375 H&H (cause the 8mm RM is a fossil too)?

ill try my utmost to get 300 brass, but.......

Virtually all the belted magnums these days are from a basic case, the 375 H&H.
Ellwood Epps sells cases however, and this would be the way to go IMO, simply because of the taper of the 300H&H case.

Sadly thats how it is...for some of the exotic cartridges. For example in a .240 WBY it is economical sometimes to buy the least expensive ammo and shoot it ($54.00 a box) to fireform (Weatherby branded ammo but uses Norma brass), then it is to buy virgin brass ($45.00 a box) and load it and still not be fireformed.

In your case given the above comments I'd match headstamps to the chamber designation on the barrel.

yeah i dont really feel like messing around with this calibre and doin another step. copy all that. thanx cat ellwood has 2 boxes.

heres another question how does the nosler brass stack up,thgey make it in h&h too, but its twice the money($60 for 25 bux!!!!!!) ,ive never used nosler and i heard sokmething bad bout it a while ago,but that was just ya know ...talk. i use hornady in my 308 and 204 and so far never had a problem or even seen a split neck so imo it seems the best

for sure 300-510 let me know i ll appreciate it even if i get some from others,thanx

Nosler brass varies with the particular chambering, due to the fact that more than one company are producing brass for Nosler. The 280AI brass(supposedly made by Norma) that I am using is very uniform and consistent, but I have seen some sub par 300win mag brass that was sold by Nosler.
