Peterson Brass

[Kosmic]

I received an email saying that Peterson brass are now available at X-reload. How are they rated compared to Lapua or others brands?

I'm shooting .308 and they are selling them for 38$ per 50.

Thanks

They are packaged in nice plastic boxes

Dunno if I like their "warning' about fireforming...

Warning: Only use Peterson Cartridge Co. casings in firearms in good condition, designed, marked, and chambered for this cartridge. Do not use Peterson Cartridge Co casings for “fire forming” or any other purpose other than what they were designed and tested for. Peterson retains no responsibility for the enclosed casings if they are used outside of the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Sounds like a typical lawyer CYA warning.

I have done a bunch of googling and from what I have read on snipers hide it is better then lapua.

I read an article on the 32 reloads. I didn't see what gun they used it in, or whether they were full length or neck sized only.

Would be nice to know whether it'd be a waste of money to buy for an AR or not

And are 20$ cheaper per the 100 vs Lapua.

It's a waste when we can get IVI 7.62x51 for less then $25/100.
Peterson doesn't make 556/223 at the moment, very limited offerings by the looks of it.
I could make Federal brass last 32 loadings easily under the right conditions, I read that article too, very limited info.

Here's a question for you since you use to do these things..why would they be claiming to have used SAAMI max loads when we can plainly see they use CUP pressure testing equipment?

Does saami not use psi and cup for pressure testing?

I didn't think CUP was used in the US for a couple decades, PSI being the standard.

With Peterson only being around a couple years seems weird they would use CUP equipment.

Does Peterson 308W brass use small or large rifle primers?

The "Palma" ones use small rifle primers.

.308 win 38$ /50 large
.308 win palma 52$ / 50 small

Thanks for the info. Can they use the "Palma" trademark name?
