I would use Lapua brass in every cartridge that I own if they made brass for them. Pick some up and try them. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Check the forums. You can pick it up in most popular calibers with 1 or 2 firings for almost half price.

I bought 200 .30/06 Lapua cases hoping to get 100 cases with minimum variation.   What I discovered surprised me. 188 cases only varied 1.2 grains and the other 12 spread it to a total of 2.2 grains.   When I checked neck thickness, figuring I'd have to turn necks, I found out that the thicknesses only varied. 001.   I didn't turn them.  Also after sorting the cases by weight and dropping the box, I just plunked the cases back in the box without reweighing them for sorting.  The necks are also fairly thick, running .014 to .015" in range.

I also shoot Lapua in my 6mm PPC and .30 BR.

I have 400 cases, out of the 400 only 3 were not up to my personal standards.  I have reused them with 165g , and 190g if you can get a good deal on bulk it's the way to go.

Come on look at this beautiful brass that is just begging to be loaded

As the others have said, Lapua brass is worth the price. I run it in my 6br, 243, 308, and 284 (6.5x284 necked up). I have over 15 firings on the 6br brass and it's still going strong. :tup:
