.308 Lapua Brass

[dzander]

I just got some of this brass.
what would i need to do for accuracy?

primer pocket uniform?
Deburr flash hole?

Size, trim chamfer?

My first time with this Brand

Most times nothing needs to be done. The most I have ever done is neck size.
Primer holes are drilled so no deburring necessary.

Same here... Load it and shoot it. Lapua is some of the best brass you can buy. I use Lapua brass for my .308 Win.

I was impressed with it and it out lasts most the other brass too.

Look them over for any dents or out of the ordinary things, but you should be able to unbox them and load them up. May have to neck size them if you don't have enough tension to hold bullets, but Lapua brass rarely needs much prep work done to it.

I run an expander mandrel through the necks and then run them through my resizing die just because new they have some serious neck tension.

Other than that no brass prep required! Worth every penny.

ya, i loaded 24 rounds, with 4 different seating depths to see what would group best, I didn't re-size. I did notice a good bit of difference in neck tension on some of the cases.
loading Berger 168g VLD Hunting bullets. I wonder if its all for nothing since I didn't re size the cases?
