[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2259854, member: 108912"] I am a recent convert to Lapua, and after trying my best to wear some of them out, I have decided they are actually the cheapest brass (per shot!) you can buy. [I picked out 10 Lapua .308 cases and have been loading them over and over and over and I'm past 10 loads now with max charges and the primer pockets are as tight as they were when new!] And when you think about it, "per shot" is really the only way to evaluate the cost of brass. This assumes of course, that precision of manufacture (consistent neck wall thickness, weight, etc.) is equal. And I've not found any brass any more precise than Lapua. But that said I have never tried Peterson, and have only use Norma a little bit. I've not found the Alpha I've measured to be more precise than Lapua, and I have no data (yet!) on the longevity of Alpha. But in 35 years of handloading I've never seen anything like the longevity of Lapua. Cheers, Rex [/QUOTE]
