It would be nice if Lapua would produce what they already offer.

Just read the bottom of the page:

Yes, we hear you! Why announce new products when your favorite cases are suspended? We are planning to resume manufacturing your favorite suspended cases in 2024 also! Thanks for your patience in these challenging times. Contact your authorized Lapua retailer beginning in February for more details regarding delivery dates for your favorites.
 
I’ll definitely do another. The necks on the alpha were just too much to deal with for me to do another barrel, but I’m in again.

I like that it’s going to be thicker as well.

I hope they get the ones they put on hold back in production. We will see. Actions speak louder than words.
 
I realize it makes no sense for someone who already owns multiple rifles in each of these chamberings - 6 Dasher, 6x47Lap, & 6XC - but I've had some desire to build myself a 6GT for some time now. There's no way I was going to get serious about doing a GT if I had to make it on the 6.5x47 brass, but if Lapua can come close to keeping up with the demand for GT brass, I might sell off a few of my 6mm rifles and make room for one in GT.
 
This is the best news in months. I talked to Peterson last year asking if they had plans to do 6GT, they said no plans to do it or anything else they hadn't already announced. I was disappointed but Lapua doing them is fine by me.

Well there's no pre-order option there and they suspended backorders in 2021. What's really funny is in their rush to get it out there the Product Information for each of the two brass is swapped. 6GT on the 300WSM page and visa-verse.

I just pre ordered both 6GT and 300 WSM from them. Just “add to cart” and checkout as normal.

They’re allowing back orders again on some things… hit or miss. They call and confirm you still want before they ship and don’t charge you until your order ships.

My biggest complaint is they’re one of the more expensive places to buy anything these days. They used to offer better prices. Now, I can usually find things cheaper somewhere else.

Oh that's how it works. So long as this is accurate, then why not... "and don’t charge you until your order ships".

My best guess is they’ll have plenty of time to fix their listings. I’ll honestly be shocked if anything ships before September 2024. Maybe early 2025?

Kind of an “over promise and under deliver” industry we’re involved in. Hype, hype, hype before shot show.

Yeah well I'm not even sure why I ordered as I got tired of waiting on Alpha (which I like) and ordered 300 Hornady (which have REALLY inconsistent primer pockets on those loaded thus far, some went in scary easy). Anyhow then Alpha came available so I ordered some of that, but knowing Lapua's rep I thought well I don't have much of either brand and I'm liking 6GT enough I'll likely shoot it in mult rifles for years to come, so... maybe I can figure out which I'll settle on. I don't shoot comp so it's not a huge deal but I do like my small (one hole at 100) groups!
 
Alpha released a lot of 6GT brass recently. It was in stock at several retailers for more than a few days, almost a week.
