Anyone have any info on this brass? I heard it is made by Lapua. Any truth to this?

Thanks

Last year's Graf & Sons catalog shows Lapua brass in 30-06 available with a Dakota headstamp.

Sounds like Lapua.

I got Dakota brass in .30-06 and .223 Rem last year. Both were of Lapua manufacture.

I believe Dakota made a deal with Lapua to manufacture a whole bunch of brass - TAC 20, 6mm PPC, etc etc. Sadly, Dakota went into chapter 11, and it sounds like some of the brass ended up with other vendors. I never saw any 6 PPC brass materialize - sadly.

The Dakota/Lapua .30-06 brass I got, was headstamped to celebrate the 100'th aniversary of the .30-06 - nifty detail.
