Lapua New Packaging

[Precisionhunter417]

Has anyone else received new Lapua brass in their cardboard packaging?

I just received two boxes of brass for my F-TR rifle and it was not in the trusty Blue box . I will say the new packaging has more protection from shipping damage but im dissapointed.

If the cost was a factor then why was this also the most expensive palma brass we have ever seen.

Lapua, can you please bring back the blue ammo box?

Rant over.

Miy Palma came in the new pkg as well. Reg LR 308 is still in the blue box.
My guess would be to lower shipping costs.

My 300 Norma mag.brass from Bullet Central came in a cardboard box.
Doesn't matter to me as long as it's the same.
Never used the plastic box for anything.

I can live with it but nobody beats ADG for packaging. I'd prefer 100 ct boxes! What were they thinking? Lol!

Looks a little dusty...like I need to be shooting more! Dusty and rusty describes me shooting pretty well of late. Lol!

Old, new or intermediate packaging?

Oldish..and goldish.

People complained about the old packaging due to dented case necks, now its in new packaging
where the case are separated and people want the old packaging.

Hilarious!!!!

Mike I scored them at LGS recently. They had 2, I took 1 for absolutely no reason other than they were there.

Probably something to do with plastic and recycling.

Alpha comes in 100 ct boxes.

It's like the old story, give some people a gold brick and they complain it's too heavy.

Some people just need to get a job.

My last two $130 plastic boxes of Lapua x47L (Powder Valley] showed up with the brass beat to hell. Here's a random handful of maybe 20 with the worst shown from that handful. Brand new. Shameful. I'd much prefer a cardboard box if it actually protects the brass.

 

[Precisionhunter417]

That may be some of the most damaged brass ive seen.

I just thought of another con to this new packaging though. Exactly 100 pieces in the box. I like having 1 spare for measurements that i leave virgin and use for comparison. This is also handy if 1 goes sideways in reloading or over pressure.

Easy fix use the proper expander mandrel and fix the necks. It will take a few seconds and the brass will be gtg. What's the big deal.

Peterson brass is packaged well.

The sky is falling! I wish I could get some new Lapua 220 Russian cases dents and all. I’d figure out a way to get them blown out.

Alpha Munitions packing has been the best I have purchased. Their shipping container is like getting a bonus product. I REALLY wish those guys would get off their ARSE and start making 6ppc brass.

The sceptic in me thinks it is cost saving. Imagine how much they save on the boxes and with 1 less case per box.

It's about time Lapua gets on the wagon with brass shipping and isolating each piece in container, regardless of plastic or cardboard. Downside, it will save them money but won't be forwarded to the end user. Oh well. I hope there is at least, some type of absorption in the box that the necks are resting on.
