[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 940438, member: 50867"] Case life is a factor of the quality of the brass, the load selected, the care and feeding of the brass (think "annealing") etc. Case life expectancy will vary. Laupa brass, IMO, is about as good as it gets. If you choose Laupa brass as a component in your reloading you won't be disappointed. I shoot along side of a lot of .338 Lapua shooters in competition. IMO, it's an awesome rifle and I'd agree with the others that it would probably be your best bet at this stage of the game. Just remember that when you build a rifle with a beginning date of sometime this summer, it is likely to be next summer before you shoot it. Wait times for barrels, actions and stocks can be VERY long. You may find that an off the shelf rifle is a better bet. I won't offer you any judgements on Snipers hide. Any forum you join will have knowledgeable members and flakes. You've just gotta be able to sort 'em out. If you haven't checked it out, Accurateshooter.com has some very good forums and technical libraries that might interest you. For certain, you'll find flakes there too. But most of the members are serious and experienced shooters who limit their involvement to the forums that they are best qualified to comment on. [/QUOTE]
