chrisv Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 If it's available in your calibre (it is in this case) the answer to this question is always Lapua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I was hoping people were going to say that as ive just ordered 100 lapua cases . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I've noticed this. I don't reload, but everyone raves on about Lapua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Lapua. I find Norma or RWS pretty comparable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULT Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Lapua simply the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff-TRG Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Remington are very bad at batch consistency. Winchester have strange internal volumes. Norma, Nosler and Sako are often too soft. RWS is good but can be expensive. So that leaves Lapua - Simply the best!

0utdoorhunter Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Might have 100 Lapua 243 cases here I would sell for £40 plus P&P if anyone is interested (if I can find 100 they are burried up in the garage) I bought 200 a couple of years ago and am selling my Steyr Prohunter Mk2 with T8 as well. I could even resize and tumble them as well.!! Edited March 2, 2009 by 0utdoorhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malantone Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi there i paid £65.49 for a hundred from the sportsman gun centre cheers Rob I am quite new to reloading and am using brass that i saved from factory rounds. I only paid about 45.00p for 100 factory loads Serbian I think but that works out as cheap if not cheaper than new brass. Or am I missing something?? Tony A.

Hi, the reason being the brass will almost definitely be not that consistent or as good a quality as Lapua. Depends at what level you shoot really, in competitions at any distance or at 600 to 1,000+yards you want every edge you can get At 100-200 yards on foxes it's unlikely to be a major factor.

varmintator Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Who here shoots at a 1000 yards, rubbish or do we have Vasily Zaytsev in the room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff-TRG Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Who here shoots at a 1000 yards, rubbish or do we have Vasily Zaytsev in the room? Would you consider rephrasing that please! I'm no Vasily Zaytsev....but I do shoot regulaly at 1,000 yards and far beyond. Managed to pick up one or two prizes in the process.....
