Just bought 200 Peterson Win Mag cases. First time buying premium brass. Can’t wait.

Cool. I never regretted buying the premium brass for my precision rifle loads

[@justice1327]

Lapua always gives you an extra case since the amp annealer came out. That way you can amp anneal a piece of brass and get your code.

[@sdkweber]

I did not know that. Thanks DW.

I’m older now and only shoot 223 Rem now. I have been using Lapua for quite a while now. I wanted to try some of the other premium brass manufacturers, but they do not make them in 233. I contacted the various manufacturers and was told that they have no issues lans in the future to offer 233 Rem brass. Guess I’ll be staying with Lapua, but that’s certainly not too bad. Thanks for your video’s!!

You are welcome. And there is certainly nothing wrong with Lapua. Kind of my gold standard for premium brass.

[@thelittledetailscr7231]

I usually just buy lapua and not worry about it. Good to have options though.

Stay with Peterson if you can not get your calibers with Alpha or Lapua there made in the USA. In my own testing and use, you will find its very good brass. I'm shocked. I do have to full length resize and trim more, but it's durable and holds up just fine.

[@thelittledetailscr7231]

@leeNWHuntinganFish4713 good to know

[@sdkweber]

Certainly nothing wrong with Lapua.

I use Lapua but looking to try some Alpha Munitions or ADG in the future.

@@sdkweber I’ll have to go rewatch. I know I watched them before. Thanks!

[@sdkweber]

@@jasonrad9332No need to re-watch. The gist is these are all good premium brass.

[@11mchristo]

Is Lapua great brass? Yep. So is Peterson...and it's made in Pennsylvania by an American company.

[@PetersonCartridgeCo]

@@11mchristo Proudly made in PA!

[@11mchristo]

Is that a Stormy Kromer?

No, my hat is made by Crown Cap (North 40 sells them as well as direct from Crown Cap)
