I am glad you like it, nothing like buying something that is all or more than you expected (Lyman Borescope comes to mind for me), that is for sure a great feeling.

I don't ever see me getting any larger caliber than the 06 so none of the over 30s are on my wish or bucket list.

I don't know I get the great enthusiasm with Lapua Brass. Not that it is not good, it certainly is, but the new cases are erratic for how tight a bullet fits them (308 and 30-06) - it needs to be shot once to uniform it out.

I haven't weight them but then I don't weight brass, I just maintain mfg commonality.
I will do that just to see.


The lips need to be chamfered new (and granted I have not bought new RP brass I get once fired which is my go to for bulk)

I don't know if I am not good enough or there is no difference but I am not seeing any accuracy gain with the Lapua.

I have not tried to see how long it lasts, I am just doing minimal shoulder bump and annealing every 5 rounds along with doing the same with the RP.
