Lapua 220 Russian @Optics Planet

[CJ6]

Since I bought 200 Alpha 6PPC cases, I might never shoot another 6PPC made from a 220 Russian. I believe the Alpha is that good.

Why? First, they really duplicated the dimensions of the PPC made from Lapua 220 Russia. Not like Norma who insisted on making the head diameter .0015 too small. The cases are also 1.511 in length, which matches my reamer perfect. Most 220 Russian ends up at 1.495.

It was always said that the reason Lapua would not make a “factory” 6PPC case was some type of liability, and since they sold every piece of 220 Russian they made, why bother.

Now that there is a real alternative, perhaps Lapua will start manufacturing a true 6PPC case.

By the way, I have 4 new boxes of Lapua 220 Russian on the shelf.

That says a lot right there Jackie.
If I hadn't picked up the Lapua 220 before the Alpha came out I might have gone with Alpha.
