Where is Lapua .223???

[Kadams1563]

I have been searching for some Lapua .223 brass for probably a year. Have a new rifle build and using Winchester brass die to not being able to find any.

My .223 AI CDG needs some brass. Anyone have a lead on some?

Have you considered berger 73/77 ammunition? That is in stock...

Yes I have been looking for that as well.

Where have you seen it?

I forget the brand name but Lapua had/has 223/5.56 brass under a different head stamp in bulk. Might be worth looking for that.

Personally I’d just look for other brass. Lapua is great brass but there’s other good brass too.

Have not seen much lately. Looking for 22-250 but all I see is 338 and 6.5.

If you haven't tried using sorted Lake City brass you may be in for a surprise...

Ever recall what brand name?

Have been looking at the Berger 73/77 but they have constantly been going up.

Thinking about buying a 500 pack of LC 55 grain and just fire form them at a couple
Hundred yards.

He’s probably referring to Nammo Tactical “NT” headstamped brass. I can’t say I’ve seen any of that in the last few years either.

Yup 2x this!

I've used sorted LC and WCC interchangeably with Lapua for PRS and F-Class at times. No appreciable difference between them for my purposes.

 

[Big Phish]

Been using sorted LC and Federal with no extreme differences.

I bought tons of it a few years back when powder valley had it in bulk cheap. Excellent stuff. I have a tub full of it.

This isn't Lapua but I have found it to be VERY good. Plus, the stuff I picked up was already primed...

I haven’t used the Norma .223, but I personally like the Norma .260 better than Lapua. Over 20 loadings before I retire it. Never had a split neck or loose primer pocket yet. I still didn’t throw out the old stuff. Might use it at another time again.

I’ve also been using starline brass and have had very good results with it. Half the cost of Lapua 223.
