6 PPC Brass

How many firings should I expect from 6 PPC Laupa brass? Action is Stole Panda with a 262 neck.

Brass I am currently using was purchased used with rifle and I suspect that it was used extensively by previous owner. I recently found a case with a split neck.
 
Easiest and best thing to do is get new Lapua brass Nick, especially since you have no idea how many firings are on it.

I am leaning that way. I would like to purchase the brass already processed. Any ideas where I should look for it. I know there are several places that will do the work.
 
I have used 6ppc brass that I received with the gun. If the brass looks to be in good shape and you anneal, it is fine to practice with.

If you do not anneal, it may still be ok. If the bullets are seating with different neck tension, you will not get the best out of the rifle.

Make sure to measure the brass both length and neck thickness. You never know if the brass was actually used in that gun or if the neck was trimmed properly.

Don’t rule out Norma 6ppc Brass. The primer pockets are not as tight but they easily last 8 to 10 reloads, maybe more. And, they are already formed.

+1 for DJ's. Expanded, neck turned and Hydro Formed, but you need to send him your new brass.

anyone know where you can get some Norma 6PPC brass? been out of stock everywhere i have looked for a long time
 
I been doing a test on 6PPC brass as of now I have 30 firings on this brass .
Still shoots in the ones and twos I do have to adjust shoulder bump ever two to three firings. I shot a match with a fellow that said he test brass up to 200 firings with no ill effect . This is 268 chambering.

A lots depends on how close your sides are to your chamber and as a result, how much you are working the brass.
 
I found some ssa brass last week, and then there was some in the classifieds.

Any info on this stuff ?

the most I can find on Google is it came from nosler.
 
I have one 25 round box of Norma 6PPC brass. Never used. I am only using Lapua. PM Me if you are interested in it.

I came home from the range today and called both DJ's Brass and Bruno's. I was able to order the brass and have it shipped directly to DJ's. Boy does DJ have an accent. With my old ears, I could hardly understand him.

Thanks for the advice.
