Trying to decide between ADG, Alpha Munitions, and Lapua. Only thing I have heard about the ADG is to reduce your powder charge due to less capacity. I have been running the Hornady stuff, which was not all that great. Anyone have experience with a couple of the above? Or maybe all 3?
 
Alpha is the best if you can get it. I ran alpha small primer and had SD’s of 3-5. This was before the Lapua brass came out but I’ve been running 6.5 Lapua for a while and think alpha is way more consistent. If you buy Alpha though buy a couple hundred if you can because a lot of times they don’t keep up with demand. Hornady SUCKS
 
I've been a long time Lapua user, but once Alpha got their brass worked out
after they first started, it's more constant than Lapua in a couple calibers I've shot.
Good stuff. Get the small rifle primer (SRP) and get 200 pieces. It's hard to work with
only a hundred. If you go to a class or a match, you'll need to load up more than a 100
You'll screw up a couple doing this or that to them anyways.

ive used lapua with 260 and 6.5x47 with single digit results and alpha with the 6 creed. same 6 creed load with hornady brass on a A&D FX120 scale is double digit sd es, with alpha brass its under 5.
 
I wanted to go with the tried and true lapua, but I took a leap and ordered up 200 of the Alpha. Hopefully it works well. Thanks for the replies.
