[QUOTE="Comancheria, post: 1642148, member: 110141"] If memory serves me, I have read at various points on the internet the following: 1. The brass is made by Lapua. 2. Lapua [B][I]never[/I][/B] made .300 Winnie brass. 3. The brass was [B][I]once[/I][/B] made by Lapua but no longer. 4. The brass that used to be made by Lapua was actually made [B][I]for[/I][/B] Lapua by Norma. What's a mother to do? What is astonishing to me (and almost everything is) is that large corporations that manufacture stuff for other large companies can keep it so close to the vest. I found two Youtube videos concerning Berger factory ammo--in one of which, the guy weighed 6 factory loads from the same box. They weighed 512.9, 512.9, 512.8, 512.6, 513.0, and one "flyer" that I think came in at 512.0. May be a little off on that, but in no case did any of them vary by as much as a full grain. That would seem to indicate fairly consistent brass. You know the bullets were within a fraction of a grain, ditto, the primers--and the powder weight was almost certainly quite close. So the cases must have been as well. [/QUOTE]
