[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1667658, member: 2736"] The difference is in the allow, design and quality control. the Lapua's come properly annealed (Some don't do a final anneal after tumbling like they use to to save money. I used to use mostly Remington Brass because it held up good, was readily available and the rejection rate was not bad. I size, trim and weight sort new brass to find consistency. Normally I buy at least 200 rounds to start with and of that 200 I would normally find only 3 to 5 cases that exceeded the weight variance that was acceptable to me. Some of the premium brass was not available in the cartridges that I used, so rather than spend double or triple the money and not see any usable difference in accuracy the Remington brass did well for me. Later Remington started playing games with cartridge cases and most of the time they were not available. listening to some of the older sage members I tried the Lapua brass. ( I had used all of the current brands before trying the Lapua) and found No real rejects but the cost was still high and many cartridge cases were not available, so I stuck with the Remington. Then one day I found some 223 Lapua brass On sale for pennies more than the Remington brass and bought 300 rounds for my 223 AI and never looked back. Now Lapua seems to be manufacturing more different cartridge cases, so I watch for them to go on sale and load up on them. I am replacing all of the cases that They make one cartridge at a time and now more that half of my rifles are loaded with Lapua brass. I have written Lapua and ask/recommended that they consider making the RUM series of cases because of the failure of Remington to support the cartridge But have not had any response yet. I would recommend that If you are just starting out that You find and use the Lapua brass if you can because it is the best in my opinion and ends up being cheaper in the long run because of quality and case life. Catch it on sale and buy 2 to 300 rounds at one time and your worries are over. There are other brands of brass that are good but none of them are as good as the Lapua. Norma Brass is good but many times more than the Lapua and cant quite match the Lapua's quality and case life. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
