Favorite 6.5 Creedmoor brass?

Who's selling Alpha brass in Canada? I'm using Lapua SRP now but it's been difficult to find for the last little while.. I see X-Reload has Peterson SRP in stock. I have a few hundred Hornady cases, if need be I'll start loading those.

I have found Lapua brass to last longer and be more consistent than Hornady in multiple calibers. Now I have found Alpha brass to be more consistent than Lapua, just haven't gone up to the same number of reloads as the Lapua...yet. I don't recall the Alpha being much more money and would choose it first everytime if available.

Damn, I would have taken them. I am finally almost getting through my first 400. Primer pockets started giving out at 14-17 reloads. If it wasn't for that, I would keep on using them since there is absolutely nothing wrong with them otherwise. I have a bunch of Lapua brass waiting. It'll just have to wait for a new barrel.

LMAO, I should have snagged it in retrospect to sell on EE..
 
I will wait for my next barrel before I switch to Alpha. My Hornady brass gets me 1/2 MOA. That reminds me, I need to do that 10 shot 300 meter challenge.

Im going to go with Alpha and give it a try. I'm shooting Lapua brass in 308 and 338 Lapua. No complaints just going to try something different. Thanks for the contact info. Gary is going to hook me up.
 
Bought 300 rounds of federal non typical in 140gr
Dollar for dollar the best deal got it for around 360 on sale at Cabelas and it came with bullets and powder and primers
Happen to shoot .75 out of my tikka at 200yds

Looks like i picked up a bad batch of hornady. Case separation after 3 reloads.Under max charge also. Switching to better brass.

Case separation after 3 reloads? That's sounds pretty much impossible. Unless you full length sized them like crazy.

How far are you bumping your shoulders?
