Lee handprimers are pretty well known for breakage. I broke two handles and broke off the top of a body, just below the shellholder swell. Also used about 4 linkages, I still have enough pcs to assemble 3 or 4 of them. That was over probably 40k rounds or so though. Wouldn't run to blaming the brass on that, I had all different makes.
Brass Options: Lapua, Peterson, Alpha, ADG, other premium... compare, comment

you'll have to reduce powder charge in brass that has smaller case capacity. In my 6.5 Creed, Alpha holds 50.8grs h2O, Lapua holds 52.3grs
Hornady 54.0 h2O
Sako 51.5 h2O
Starline 52.2 h2O
On small cartridge such as the 6 Dasher - reduced capacity is a problem. I got into the 6 Dasher to get better performance - more fps - not less or equal to 6 BR.
Nothing to do with Lapua..all their case has 101…check with your dealer..he screwed you up. If you can’t make the difference between the best brass and Starline..stick with Starline..
Was definitely a Lapua issue, the packaging was unopened.
The 99 packs have happened to a number of people, Cda and US as I've seen, got one myself, called the dist, he asked for lot nbr on box and sent me one.
There's been a few instances if you check the web.....anyway not worth crying about..
