308 WINCHESTER BRASS CASE Reviews & Ratings

LAPUA 308 WINCHESTER RIFLE BRASS

Many shooters have found Lapua brass to be considerably superior in quality to most other brass available. All Lapua cases are strong and uniformly precise. Lapua cases are manufactured to be reloaded, again and again, dozens of times. The base section is hard and strong, and the dimensions remain constant and will hold primers tight in the primer pocket even after repeated reloading. The brass body section is hard and firm. It is easy to extract after firing, whether full length sizing or only neck sizing. Strict tolerances in concentricity and wall thickness are used in manufacturing. The neck and shoulder are annealed to withstand repeated reloading. Packaged in a plastic case, 100 cases per package.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Caliber: 7.62mm (0.308)

Beware the small primer pockets

This is my second order of Lapua Brass . The first was 6.5 Creedmoor and it was great with no issues. They were small primer pocket brass which had zero problems with seating. This .308 small primer brass was a nightmare. Out of a hundred pieces I was only able to seat primers on 30 without having to try different things to get them to seat. To say they were tight was an understatement. When I seated them most were nowhere near the depth they were supposed to be. You could see them sitting high in the primer pocket. I had to use a Dillon primer pocket swager and my RCBS case prep Reamer for crimped military primers to seat them and even that didnt work. I had to really press hard on the die press arm repeatedly to get them in on some of them . I used CCI and Winchester Primers to see if it was the primers. It happened with both.This shouldnt happen with Brass this expensive. I have never had this problem with Hornady, or Starline for example. I talked to a friend of mine who has been reloading for 55 years . He said he has had this happen with Lapua before. I was not happy. This is no acceptable with brass that is over $1.00 a piece.
