Lapua 6XC brass.

I make custom, ready-to-load Lapua 6XC cases from brand new Lapua stock.
Cases are formed and processed, necks are expanded and turned to .015" for uniform case/bullet tension and concentricity, trimmed, deburred/chamfered case mouths inside and out, and annealed on Benchsource annealer. Benefits are .002 +/- thicker case necks over Norma brass, weight is 8-10 +/- grains heavier and impeccable Lapua-quality primer pockets.

Always FREE SHIPPING
Minimum order quantity of 20

20 - $55
50 - $125
100 - $220

Curious, but how does the Palma brass, or more specifically the SR primer, perform? Since Tubbs created the round and went with the LR primer, I'm assuming he had a reason, so I figured I'd ask
 
My purposes for the Palma brass are built specifically for case strength and brass longevity. After 20,000+ casings of converted Lapua brass sold and 3000+ personal firings, feedback from clients are mixed regarding large primer vs. small primer. Myself and guys I run with were using my small primer "Palma" brass, for the purpose of building higher pressure loads, up to considered "nuclear" velocity hunting and accuracy loads. All variables being equal, I did not find one more inheritantly "accurate" than the other.

Depending on what your intended purposes for the brass and your rifle (assuming a bolt-action), here's what we learned from Lapua "Palma" small primer brass:

Pros:
-More firings before primers pockets start to loosen up for guys developing high pressure and "Nuclear" loads (if that's an intended purpose).
-Cases holistically hold up better to the abuse reaching for the higher velocity accuracy nodes
-Reports of smaller ES/SD (again, all variables being equal). However, this has been disproven from my experience.

Cons:
-A few recorded ignition issues in extreme cold weather (Not personally verified). Appropriate powder choice is critical in this environment.

Neutral:
-Does not require a bushed firing pin assembly.

Guys were buying both the standard brass for their normal precision loading so they get the life out of their brass (over 30 loadings), and would buy small primer "Palma" brass for their super high pressure, precision hunting loads. These loads are hard on brass so development will chew into your lifespan.

Below is a review by a member:
"The workmanship on every one of the cases is meticulous and uniform. Lapua brass is good to begin with, but with precision neck turning, becomes something really special. I highly recommend Sanford's services, and will not hesitate to use him again and again."
Thanks again Scott!
