Update: Action is going to Accurate Ordnance this week to be trued. Barrel has been taken off and I'm just waiting on the new one to come in.

Yeah, I have a feeling that neither of them will compare to Lapua brass though. I'm on my 10th firing with mine, half of them shooting max loads + .5 grains and the majority of them show no signs of fatigue. Primer pockets are as tight as they were new, no case head separation, the stuff is legit.

I'll probably stick with buying brand new brass as it's really not much more expensive. The difference in price is worth the peace of mind for me.
