If I had several ( my understanding, not many ) of six different brands I'd bin the lot and buy a new box of Lapua, job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaken Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I have found Rem brass necks to harden very quickly. Hornady tend to use poor brass in their factory loads. Been using some Fed brass with good results but If forming to 20tac I would buy a box of lap. A good investment imho and not a lot of money for .223. Use your old lap brass for load dev then stick with the new lap brass for ages of trouble free shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
