I just ordered up 100 Lapua 243 cases.

If they are anything like the 308 Laupa I bought 4 or 5 years ago, it should be a good purchase. To me, there is more to quality maybe than simple weight consistency as it applies to accuracy. If my rifles are good enough to notice an accuracy difference in the weight spread of the Lapua 308 brass, I am not an accomplished enough shooter to notice.

The case mouths are perfect. The chamfer, perfect. The length is perfect. The flash holes are perfect. Primer pockets, perfect.

Then there is the whole issue of durability. These cases just don't quit.

My shooting has tapered off here a bit lately, but unless it is a shell shucker (semi auto) that I'm loading for, I use Lapua exclusively in rifle calibers. I have to save my $ a bit longer, but I don't spend them as often either.
