As I’ve been learning more about reloading I’ve always read that premium brass is worth the money.
Midway has a sale on Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor Brass with Small Primer Pockets. I picked up a box and decided to check them out.
Before loading anything I decided to measure 10 cases and record the measurements.
Case Length 1.911±0.0015
Shoulder Length1.532±0.0015
Neck ID0.2595±0.0005
Neck OD0.2950±0.0002
Head ID0.461±0.0005
Neck Concentricity>0.001
Case Weight164.5gr ± 0.2gr
I took my time preparing 15 test rounds and tested them out with Federal Match Primers and 140gr Nosler RDF’s. 5 shot group .38 MOA and 10 Shot Group .62 MOA. Out of the 15 shots I had 9 readings with the Chrono resulting in 9.2 SD.
Apparently guys on Snipers Hide are reporting that they are reloading Lapua brass 15-20 times.
