Hirsch Precision comment:

Hopefully we will have these for 2025. We will order "substantial" quantities. Pricing will be available in or around December 2024. End.

WOW! Guess ill give the lapua gt brass a try and compare it to my alpha.
Very exciting! Not surprised you guys were the ones to announce it! Very happy to see you guys staying at the top!
 
Peter - this is nice but in my view Lapua should concentrate in getting out their bras product line namely .220 Russian and 6 BR brass that cannot be found anywhere in North America. I hope you have a voice with them to get the message out..:)
 
Janeau:

We have mentioned this to Lapua today, and realistically we do not know when we will receive this new brass or other products which we have not been able to receive, because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Regards,

Peter

PS, Canada is small potatoes compared to the USA.
 
After speaking yesterday with Lapua, Finland, we updated ETA to 2025. We do not receive Lapua products from Capstone as we have been dealing directly with Lapua for 30 years.

Regards,

Peter

I have 100 of the new 300 WSM cases and they are FLAWLESS!! Definitely some of the finest out of the box brass in my loading room.

The funky cardboard loading trays they come in are a bit janky, but I’m sure they protect the brass in transit.

If you shoot 300 WSM, sell all your other brass to those who don’t know better and buy LAPUA!!

TangoKilo, thanks, we knew about Lapua and placed our first order in 1994 for 8665 Finnish Markas($3000 +/-) and when it arrived, we loaded the Jetta and went to the pub to celebrate!

Regards,
Peter
