What to use.(308 Lapua or 308 Lapua Palma Brass)

[brianc74]

Getting back into the 308 game. Wanting to know your thoughts and experiences on using Lapua or Lapua Palma 308 brass. Of course I am looking for the best accuracy potential out of my brass. But the rifle I will be loading for will also be for hunting and hunted in cold temps at times (10deg) possibly. I plan on shooting 165-190 grain bullets.

Some insight on what brass to get would be greatly appreciated

I wouldn't use the Palma brass for hunting or with ball powders.

For what you want to do I'd use the large primer Lapua brass. The advantage of the small primer isn't accuracy but case life. The web area is thicker. This may make a difference in case life if you were shooting 210-215 grain Bullets at max pressure.

Stick with the large primer for cold weather
