Weird Dents In New Lapua 6BR Cases

[Shooter13]

Are some guys wanting their 2 pcs of brass replaced to be thrown into the mix with 98 from a different lot? Asking because I’ve got lots of culled by weight Lapua 220 & 6br that I’ve gathered over the years. I’m sure I can gather 100 pcs from 10+ different lots. What’s that brass worth to someone?

Just bring them to me and I'll "test" them for you in a very good rifle and let you know IF there is a difference in lot #s. I'll even anneal your brass for you!! ;-)

For the record, I consider the two cases pictured in my original post to be junk.
And no, I am not going to waste my time sending them to Lapua.

I am sure they monitor this site. If they don’t, they should.

Thanks for putting an end to this with some common sense. This started out to be an informative post and turned into replies that were way over the top to disparage and discredit.
If Lapua monitors this site, and they don't sponsor you, they should

did those come that way new/unfired?

They came right out of the box like that.

Guys understand it was a manufacturing defect that got by the inspectors. It happens in every manufacturing process. Just move on from this, the SKY INS'T FALLING.

I had two or three some years back, contacted Lapua customer service and they replaced.

Five new pieces of beautiful 6BR brass showed up in my mailbox today.

Big thanks to Phil at Capstone/Lapua for going above and beyond!

Went through my four new boxes and found three.

Capstone made good on my defective brass.

Whatever you choose is obviously your choice. But I personally would not fire them. In my opinion, as Lapua presents itself as a premium brass manufacturer, I would think they'd be embarrassed that these cases shipped, but that's just my guess.
Personally, given other examples of similar problems with Lapua brass in other posts.....

Well. Decide for yourself.

Ever bought some loaded ammo and found anything like that?

I never have. And that's what everyone turns their nose up at as inferior.

I found few pieces of new Winchester brass several years ago that looked exactly like these two pieces.

This brass was when blue box first came out. This was fireforming to Dasher brass. The crease was not noticed at first and opened up when fired. Been awhile ago, but I think they replaced like 6-10 cases if I remember right. I would go through and cull any creased brass.

This is exactly what I was referring to when I said don't fire it. Been there and done that.

i had found 1 in my last box and when sorting them / there was 1 extra so i had counted 101 cases but one blem, figured was a good one to keep to be able to compare fired case dimensions to new. no harm
