[QUOTE="morcey2, post: 1029295, member: 71004"] I've reloaded PPU in 7x57, 8x57, 7.62x54r, 30-06, and 9x18 Mak. It's not the same quality as Lapua, but it has worked great for me. It's as good, if not better than Remington and Winchester and much better than Federal. I don't have more than a couple of reloads on any of it, but it has worked well so far. I've used brass from both factory rounds that I've bought and from virgin brass. There can be some variance between lots, but within each lot the weight has been consistent enough for me. There was about a 2 grain average weight difference between the virgin brass and once-fired brass from factory rounds in 7x57 ( 3 x 20 rd boxes, all with the same lot number) so I keep them separated. The once fired brass was lighter. I don't know if that's enough to make a difference on a 180-ish grain case. Lapua is better as is Nosler, but PPU is good enough for me. Now if they'd just start making some 257 Rob +P brass, I'd be a happy camper. Matt [/QUOTE]
