7mm - 08 cases

[HammerliSP20]

Since Lapua appears to have discontinued the 7mm-08 case, what is a good quality second choice?

I use Remington brass for 7mm08, not because it's special but because that's what was available at the time. Some of it is 6f, no complaints. I annealed after 2f.

Other than Lapua I've have some Nosler that 4x fired and going strong. Winchester is not too bad, very close in capacity to Lapua, after 6-7 firings the primer pockets start to expand and its a little too easy to seat a primer in 40-50% of the cases and by 8-10 the necks get thin- Winchester seems to have the most come off while trimming for me. Started using some Starline 2 x fired and so far it's good, not much comes off when trimming and has slightly larger capacity than Lapua.
I don't load things hot, anneal after each firing.

I bought a pile of Norma brass for my nephews 7/08. Really tight primer pockets with 205s and also Winchester primers, but that’s not a bad thing in my opinion.

If you want Lapua, just neck down 308 cases. - dan
