Didn't know that Lapua made WSM in any caliber. I wish they would.

Any F Class shooter I know, including myself, that is using the WSM series of cartridges uses good ol` Winchester brass. No problems, accurate and doesn`t cost an arm and a leg. You have to sort by weight but that is no big deal.

I guess "best" depends on what a person thinks is most important. I would be interested to know how many times the different makes of WSM brass can be fired in competition before it has to be scrapped.

I have shot Win Brass for years. The last cpl of years I have used Lapua For 6br, and 308win. Yes there is a big difference from out of the box qty! I have been asking myself the question the last cpl of weeks. If I shouldn't go back to Win Brass. Lapua doesn't seem to last any longer. Nor shoot any better, proving I take the steps at the Reloading bench with Win Brass. I'm thinking I can achive what I need out of Win brass as I get out of Lapua. Just take the time to prep Win. At Half the cost I'm thinking about a side beside test in the near future. If Win. brass will give me the numbers I want, performance down range, and last as long or longer than Lapua? Well I'll do the extra work at the reloading bench to save the amount of $$$ it will save me! (308 brass anyway) The difference in price is worth a honest test. Norma brass? Well I tried it once in 220 swift. Brass was way to soft. I'll buy Rem. brass before I buy Norma again.

I use winchester brass for my 25WSM and my 223 AI with no problem. My ackley brass has 7 or 8 reloads on them with no problems with primer pockets or the necks.

My first fifty I made up an easy 4 or 5 loads with no problem! That's with a semi hot load

No issues with the 300 WSM Winchester brass, I do however have some Norma that wants a new home cheap.5+ loads are no issue & they aren't mild.
