Best out of these three. Lapua, Peterson, or ADG

[Bghunter338]

Been looking at these three for some time now and was just curious what everyone else likes to use.

I have all three but for different cartridges:

Lapua - 223 Win, 6.5 CM, 308 Win, 30-06, 338 LM (had some 7mm-08 but sold it)

ADG - 30 Nosler

Petersen - 280 AI

So, far I like it all.

Depends on the cartridge for me. In 30 nosler, I prefer ADG, because it has more capacity than Peterson, and Lapua doesn't make it. In .260 rem, I like Peterson or Alpha SRP brass, if it can be found. I have used Lapua as well, but their srp brass hasn't been available for a while. In the end, Alpha, Peterson, ADG and Lapua are all awesome. However, I like american companies. Also, ADG has phenomenal customer service....

I had some ADG 7mm mag brass, and one of them had a crinkled shoulder, new in box. I emailed ADG and sent them a picture. They asked me for my lot number. They sent me a replacement case, from the exact same lot (purchased 18 months prior btw), as well as a hat. Pretty friggin sweet.

Why not Alpha?

Why not Alpha?

I've never used them, they only have one caliber I believe that I could use and it's for 7mm-08 but a great member on here hooked me up with some lapua.

Use them all, flip a coin and enjoy!!!

I've used all 3. I like lapua and adg. Peterson is the bottom of the heap for those 3 in my experience. Not because of consistency, but because I can get the velocity out of it like I can lapua or adg. Peterson shows pressure early in my experience. Alpha is the next one I'm going to try

Yup, it's way tough but the brass is thicker and generally has less capacity.

ADG for SAUM brass and now 7PRC
Lapua for almost everything else

All of them are top dogs as well as alpha. I use them all and have zero complaints with any of them.

I have almost 10 reloads on 300 win mag lapua brass and primer pockets are still tight, accuracy is great, brass integrity is great, neck tension very consistent and shoulder resizing is always within .001". I anneal after every firing btw. Have Petersen for my 7mm mag and it has been good too but not as many reloads under my belt with it.
