If none of the mentioned offers work for you check Grafs.com
Boltripper's got a pretty solid price there.

Re: .308 brass
Just picked up some new Winchester .308 brass from Cabelas for 38/100
After tax and shipping it isn't such a great deal though.

Re: .308 brass
Winchester brass from Powder Valley at $310/1000 (I see it's now listed for $320). It was backordered but only took about 3 weeks to get it.

Prevailing wisdom has Lapua with much longer life and more precise dimensions. Supposedly no need to deburr the flashole either but I just can't help myself as it is only needed once anyway! Since I started annealing I think the premium for Lapua is less relevant for me and even steeper now.

Re: .308 brass
lapua is the best brass no doubt about it however i have bought winchester and after all the usual case prep and anealing i have had better accuracy out of it than lapua but not by much but if you sum up what it costs for the equipment needed to aneal lapua is cheaper

Re: .308 brass
Black Hills uses the Winchester, and it makes up most of my .308 reloads with no complaints at all. Even some of the current production Corbon is using the Winny stuff! Got some of their heavy 190's in Win brass to try out.... Have had good luck with the Lapua, LC Match & Winchester, but you can tell the difference when working with each of them... Mostly LC for my .223 loading, but I try to stay as close to the 62 grn SS109 as much as possible.
