Alpha brass ??

[21PHX]

Is Alpha Munitions brass worth buying? I’ve used a lot of different manufacturers brass over the years but never Alpha. What do you thinks?

Alpha is number 2 on my list after Lapua. They are good to go.

 

[R.Morehouse]

Their Dasher brass is of very high quality and their shipping boxes are the nicest I have seen.

Brass
Reamer
Dies

My 2¢, ADG, Alpha, Lapua in that order.

This comes up often, and I enjoy bragging about this.

I have a box of Alpha 308 small primer brass that has 50 firings on it. You wont find better brass.

if possible, get the barrel chambered with an alpha reamer, then use the alpha (micron) dies. perfection.

308 small primer, big or small flash hole?

My only experience with Alpha is in 6 Dasher. Excellent imo

Another like for Alpha OCD brass, I have no complaints.

Or, don't worry about what the current PRS crowd says and just shoot it. It's good brass.

Alpha small primer 308 has the larger primer hole

i don't care about the PRS guys. Alpha brass can give issues at the 0.200 line because of how hard the head is. Just trying to give the best advice to avoid potential issues.

6BRA Alpha Brass question

So I have Alpha 6BRA brass along with Wheeler #1 .272 neck. Ever since day one I have had moderate bolt lift and swipes on the case head. Can’t reach velocity others get without pressure. I sent 3x fired brass to Harrels for their die and got it back. And didn’t solve issue. I don’t have any...

Read the whole thread and learn from those that know.

Alpha small primer 308 has the larger primer hole

It's larger than lapua... but it's smaller than the "standard" size... I think.

To be fair, the BRA brass has a lot of drama (and finger pointing) behind it. I wouldn't judge the whole product line up on this.

Nope. Standard 0.080" hole.
