Well I have another question for you all.
I bought some Lapua brass for my 308 and was wondering a couple of things, I've been reloading for years and have used Win. and Rem. brass but none with the quality of this Lapua brass.
First question: from the mouth to down below the shoulder the brass seems to have been heated. Is this what is called anealed brass if so what purpose does it serve.
Second question: this is virgin brass and seems to be very hard to insert into my sizing die. I ran the necks through some powdered graphite and then lubed the body of the cases.
I ran a Rem. case through and it was smooth and easy. What gives with the Lapua.
Long winded I know but thanks for the help.
