[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 726365, member: 2460"] My Sako TRG-S M995 in 7.82 Lazzeroni Warbird was a real pleasure to shoot and hunt with here in Alaska, It was the most accurate factory out of the box rifle I ever had and I dumped numerous moose, black bear and a 9 1/2 ft brown bear with it, the rifle/cartridge absolutely loved the Nosler Accubonds and Swift A-Frames, unfortunately the brass wasn't as good as it should be for such a well designed and accurate cartridge, ......I had to deal with 2 firings per case at $50.00 per box of 20 pcs. but then the price went up but not the quality... I have since rebarreled my M995 to .338 Norma Magnum... simply because of brass quality and price.... the Norma brass lasts 10-12 firings and is $42.49 per box of 20 pcs at Midway compared to the Lazzeroni Warbird brass at $64.99 per box of 20 pcs (also at Midway) ($74.99 at Lazzeroni website) that only last 2 shots and primer pockets are busted loose. Bottom line........If the brass quality issue were to be resolved, I would not hesitate to get my hands on a 7.82 Warbird or 8.59 Titan, which I feel are both very well designed cartridges and perform superbly in the accuracy and velocity departments, maybe Mr. Lazzeroni could have Norma or Lapua manufacture his brass ? I'd pay $65- $75 a box for that stuff anyday ! [/QUOTE]
