i meant 6 dasher sorry above

 

[Mike Hightower]

Myself like you. I prefer Lapua then Peterson for me. Also what is your intended use?

 

[Bill Norris]

Would chose Peterson over Alpha every time.

do you turn your necks Mulligan ?

I’ve had good luck with the Alpha in 6Dasher. I’ve used Peterson in 6BR and 6.5CM with good luck as well.

Edit for what it’s worth…. one thing I forgot is the Alpha has a 80 thou flash hole. I just confirmed the Peterson has 60 thou. This is probably a debatable difference when it comes to ignition performance and velocity. I wouldn’t turn around for the difference.

Yes, just a little.
I favor lots of clearance.

The best thing about Peterson was the boxes they shipped their brass in……jmtcw

Agree, but the the Alpha comes with great boxes as well. You would think Lapua would step it up here rather than go the opposite direction… now paper boxes so I understand.

I totally agree with EEP regarding the packaging of Lapua brass but the cold hard truth is people would buy Lapua brass if they shipped it in ziploc bags. A premium product (at a premium price) really does deserve more care in shipping.

I’m very pleased with Alpha (OCD) Dasher brass.

 

[Mike Hightower]

I agree with all the above Especially on the lapua packaging. I do also agree that Alpha and Peterson is probably a personal preference. Speaking just for myself I prefer the smaller flash hole in the Peterson for 600 and 1k paper since Lapua is like H4895.

Agree with this. My total experience with Alpha was with my 260AI and it was not a good one. Had to reduce the load far too much in order to realize the gains produced by an AI cartridge.

this is what i was worried about case capacity. but it’s almost impossible to find lapua brass i myself don’t mind fire forming.

My rifle likes both but I do not push the brass hard.

ok i guess as long as your getting the accuracy & speed you want. you must be hitting the nodes you want. .

I always go for accuracy, speed doesn't matter to me.
