Outstanding. Peterson now says late 2024 for thier 300 WSM so if this is available prior to that then Lapua it is.
Nice!

Rad! I can start getting rid of all the nickel win brass I've been holding onto and limping along because 300 WSM brass is like gold…

How does the Lapua 300WSM brass compare to ADG 300WSM brass?

HELLYEAH!
No idea who the beta testers were.
If it's better than Norma it will be awesome. Norma and ADG are definitely the best two options right now with a slight edge going to the Norma. ADG takes roughly 6-8tenths more powder than the Norma. If the Lapua stacks up it will be nice to have another quality option on the market.

I run Lapua or Peterson in all my rifles and this (300WSM) was the first time using ADG and I'm a little disappointed. During load development, anything that I ran on the warmer side but not what I would consider stiff loads, the primer pockets loosened up significantly more than I would have expected. Don't get me wrong it's good just not as good as Lapua or Peterson IMHO.
We have 300 WSM loaded ammo and brass available if you are all still looking. ADG make.

Well, it's kind of hard to say at this point since Lapua doesn't make it yet. However, if it's as good as their other Brass that they've become well-known, for I would say it's slightly superior in consistency.
Lapua says available Spring of 2024. I'm not sure what that means in real world availability. Sometime in 2024 could be.
A custom 300 WSM has been on my long-term wish list. Having multiple quality brass options might move it up a notch or two. I did have a 6mm GT built in 2023 but I've got enough Alpha brass to burn out a couple of barrels.

Lapua’s 300 WSM case has many advantages over belted magnum cartridges, delivering energy equal to the 300 Win Mag as a short action rifle design.
