I haven't tried Lapua brass in .300 Win. Mag. yet, but I intend to.

Lapua has carved out a reputation for building the highest-quality rifle cases available. Even the flash hole is drilled--not punched--so consistency and uniformity is unexcelled. I have yet to hear anything but praise for them from anyone.........

Are you shooting this in a custom chambered gun?
Are you full length resizing?

I have never heard of anyone getting so many reloads running such high pressures!

Hey Sakofan,

Just getting ready to order lapua myself. Brunos and sinclairs (who has lapua 10% off right now) would be the places I would order from. I have talked to numbers of guys who say the weight and wall thickness variation is as close to 0 as one could get. Lapua they say is metallurgically superior to all others, even norma. Most all competition shooters now days use it. You call redding and they state that is the ONLY brass they recommend and only one they can say will do well. The tech at redding states 90% of the long distance record holders have only 1 thing in common........Lapua.
