[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 2759276, member: 15248"] [I](I've been on the road, and am just now able to provide more info regarding my experience with Lapua brass.)[/I] This is a follow-up to my Post #6. The summary is that some people opine that Lapua (and other European manufactures) brass tend to have a larger web diameter, which can lead to clickers in American-made rifles. This is only a problem when the rifle's chamber is on the small side of SAAMI spec, and so many shooters do not have problems with Lapua brass in their particular rifle. My personal experience was that Lapua brass gave me clickers at higher charge weights on the first firing with no other pressures signs even near. Winchester brass functioned just fine at the same charge weights. Apparently, my experience was not all that uncommon. Other aspects of Lapua brass are great. I just wanted to point out that Lapau brass can have its problems, too. Something I wish I had know before buying 200 pieces of Lapua brass, instead of first buying just 50 pieces to test functionality in my rifle.
