[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2160647, member: 36473"] I just ran my first ever batch of Lapua brass through some quality checks. Out of 100 rounds 70 rounds were 165gr within +/- .1gr. 91 pieces were 165gr +/- .2gr , 2 were -.4gr and 7 were +.3 gr. All cases in a range of .8 grains. Lapua brass does not have a bur on their flash holes. If you look inside the case with a flashlight you can see that. All cases went through a Wilson headspace/max min length gauge and all were within tolerance. When I tried to cut uniform primer pocket the pockets were a tad to tight and I could not fit the cutter inside the primer pocket. In my judgement virgin Lapua brass would need case mouths rounded out and cleanliness verified before loading. [/QUOTE]
