[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 198554, member: 704"] I think Lapua does a lot of advertising and gets a good rep, but I'm disappointed in my 6.5 X 284 brass. It doesn't have consistent neck thickness. I have to neck turn all of my Lapua brass. Of course I have to turn Winchester, Remington, and Hornady too. My neck thickness runs .013 to .016 inch on the same piece of Lapua brass. I get between .2 inch and .25 inch group with both Lapua and Winchester 284 sized and turned. I just don't get the Lapua rep just like I am not to impressed with my Kimbers. Big names, big price, not so much big performance. I am curious if my problem is simply lot numbers. I have purchased about 600 Lapua, but all about four years ago. I would much appreciate if a couple of you could measure some Lapua neck thickness and post up and tell me what your getting. [/QUOTE]
