Just wondering if anyone might know where to get 7mm Rem Mag Lapua brass? Preferably out west...I want to step up my game reloading and can't seem to find any, maybe they don't make it? Thanks for any pointers you may have.
 
For your info, Lapua doesn't make brass for standard north american hunting cartridges, sure it will have the lapua head stamp, but it in not their brass. You be just as well served with Nosler.. FS
 
Lapua is doing 30-06 brass but maybe because it is not NA hunting cartridge ....

to continue the list:

308, 7-08, 260,243, 22-250, 222, 223 only for the NA hunting cartridges ...

do not know which caliber Nosler is really making brass for ....
 
Nosler is not only Norma, it is also Remington for sure and I believe some is Hornady..........Nosler do not manufacture rifle cases, they buy with their headstamp and do the weigh and prep thing then quadruple the price..............

Hear some rambling that there is some winchester made as well.



Lapua used to make 300 win brass. Hear guys on the american gun boards talk about it.
 
Lapua did not manufacture .300 Win Mag - they sub-contacted it and sold with their headstamp, same with .270 Win. They do not make 7 Rem Mag.
 
I have heard Norma is the best,someone posted a test done awhile back.I have used the nosler and had very good luck with it.Have some friends that use it also with lots of firings,biggest thing is do not bump shoulders to much and you'll get a lot more firings,and over max loads are hard on primer pockets.
I read in a reloading magazine a couple years ago that nosler uses federal brass also.

I prefer Lapua over Norma and Nosler after using all three.
 
I have been using Norma brass along with many other headstamps in my 7mm. The Norma brass always has less stretching at the neck and I save them for my hunting rounds while using the other brass for the range.
 
Lapua is above everything ... if you have the caliber needed. PRVI is very good and still not well known ...
Norma can be hit and miss. i had a few issues in the past with 7x64 brass but french dealer give back enough brass to compensate and the new ones were better.
 
I have found that Norma brass can be a bit soft in certain lots. I had some Norma 6.5x55 brass that opened primer pockets with what I thought were quite moderate loads.
This has never happened with Lapua 6.5x55 brass.
I'm running PRVI brass in my 7x57 right now, and it seems very good.
At the bottom of the barrel is Federal brass. I normally do not use it in anything but the 30-30.
Regards, Dave.
 
If you can get your hands on some new or once fired W-W 7 Mag brass it is the toughest I have found.......this does NOT include the new stuff in the red and black bags. I have used a lot of different brass in 7 Mags over the years and W-W is head and shoulders above the rest in handling heavy loads and higher pressures......it also has greater case capacity than virtually all others. I found Norma 7 Mag to be heavy and softer than W-W and I could not use my loads worked up in W-W cases without loosening primer pockets in the Norma cases. The old W-W was quite consistent weight wise, certainly within spec for a hunting cartridge........maybe not F-class or bench quality, but usually they would all fall within 5 grns of one another and I found this to be quite consistent from lot to lot as well. I weighed 40 FC 270s that I picked up on the range (I would never spend my money on FC or 270 brass) fired from factory ammo all from the same lot, the boxes were in the garbage can, and they varied more than 20 grns from lightest to heaviest ALL FROM THE SAME LOT......totally unacceptable to my standards.

I'm fairly certain that if you advertised you were looking for some old W-W once fired or new, you could come up with a few hundred..........millions were made and sold over the years as it has always been in the top 5 in sales of belted mag cartridges.......it may well be the highest selling of all time of the short belted family, it wouldn't surprise me.
