Quote from Reloader on March 28, 2010, 8:52 pmI cannot tell you anything yet. All I have done is read. HOWEVER, I have been on Long Range Hunting and Kirby Allen has some specific opinions about it.
His recommendation is to use Norma brass for load development since the Lapua brass is so much stronger it doesn't deform like most of the brass we are accustomed to using.
My Lapua is in a Remington and has an improved chamber.
What dies are you using? I have a set of Redding Competition dies on the way.
