i agree but can be hard to find or not in the states yet like the 6 GTLapua
Having use both brands, I like both brands and find both brands being very good. However, if I'm forced to choose between these two, and though I'm new to Alpha brass, I'd go with Alpha . . . because my Alpha brass is more consistent than my Peterson brass I have (e.g. more consistent neck wall thickness, more consistent case volume).who makes the best brass peterson or alpha ?
I didn't, 6mmGT is what I have been running the Alpha brass in and I started playing with a 6.5x47L again. To make it easier to keep my brass separate from my Lapua 25x47L brass I went with Peterson. At the time Alpha was out of stock in the quantity I wanted.so why would you switch??
"Accuracy" is up to you and determined entirely by you, the shooter. You're referring to consistency, both in mean error radius on target if shooting via a testing fixture and muzzle velocity metrics.Lapua, Alpha and Peterson are all good brass. But most shooters aren't good enough to take advantage (and that includes me) of whatever incremental accuracy they may provide you in most gun games. (there are exceptions like benchrest and F Class for example where the smallest group wins)
It's not all about group size. With quality brass you will get more firings. Which will make it more economical.Lapua, Alpha and Peterson are all good brass.

That's why I buy Starline brass and save money in calibers that they do offer. Yes, Starline requires a bit more work to prep than the big 3 above, but my time is free.
For example 6.5 Creedmoor SRP Brass:
Starline = $170. per 250 cases (0.68 each) and free shipping
Alpha Brass = $118.00 per 100 ($1.18 each) plus shipping
Peterson Brass = $59.99 per 50 ($1.20 each) plus shipping
Lapua Brass = $124.99 per 100 ($1.25 each) plus shipping
If your flush and you want to shrink your 100 yd groups by 0.20" at most, maybe, go right ahead and buy the more expensive brass.
If it makes you feel good, and confident in your loads cause your spending more, then I guess it's worth it......
Well that's great, so you've extensively tested it.It's not all about group size. With quality brass you will get more firings. Which will make it more economical.
So it's your opinion that quality brass will get you more firings and make a difference, but your not really sure via any testing, on how many more firings you get. But that's your feeling.Well I really don't buy into the idea you have to have a detailed spread sheet with testing results to offer an opinion. Who has the time or money for that? That's ridiculous. It would greatly depend on the load, caliber, the chamber etc.... I have run 6.5 CM SRP lapua brass well past 20 firerings. Hell the barrel went first. My point was that quality brass can make a difference other than cost per piece.
You are very welcome.So it's your opinion that quality brass will get you more firings and make a difference, but your not really sure via any testing, on how many more firings you get. But that's your feeling.
And for the record I'm not saying your feelings are wrong. You might well be right.
Great Thanks.....
