[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 810676, member: 39801"] I can't speak to 308 specifically, but I recently bit the bullet and bought some Lapua brass in another caliber. I hear a bunch of stories about 15 reloads with it, but I am only on #2. I will say this - it is waaaaaaay more consistent than Win brass. I was sizing up some Win tonight and the neck thickness variations, headspace weirdness, etc are much more noticeable now that I've tried the good stuff. So: If you try the Lapua you're going to like it, and then you'll have to hope to make it economical by getting many more loads from it. Otherwise, sell it, don't find out what you are missing, and keep swigging that screw-cap wine that is Win brass! It's not a bad analogy - it gets the job done the same as the good stuff, just not quite as refined... [/QUOTE]
