Identifying Lapua Brass

[Backwoods]

So we were in a shop here in the US debating who uses Lapua brass in OEM shells....is it the little 'L' logo that signifies it?

All my Lapua brass is headstamped LAPUA.

Yep the whole word on mine.

I'm pretty sure that the only OEM that uses Lapua brass for their factory loaded ammo is.... yup... Lapua.

same here..

Same here too...

Lapua also uses/used the 'L'. Suspect current production is "LAPUA" only though. The reference on the Internaional Cartridge Collectors site for the 'L' is dated 1963. 1996-2002 for the whole word.

Excellent, that's what I thought.

We found some Corbon loads with the little 'L' on the bottom, and were not sure.

So Remington does not use Lapua brass......someone tried to tell us that the other day...we didn't think so.

Can't see why Remington would use Lapua brass for their factory loads when they have a goodly supply of their own brass to play with.

I bought some Remington Factory Match for my .338 Lapua when I first got it. The Ammo was advertized on the box as being loaded with .250 gr. Senars, I didn't look at the brass until I was home but it was Lapua Brass aswell, but only had the "L" in a box on the head.

Now that's what we were told the other day......I thought he was maybe mistaken, but Remington then possibly did use some at one point....cool....

In Lapua factory ammo they use Lapua cases

Most of the L you see is likely Lake City brass.
