Best Lapua Brass

Post by saum2 »

Just wondering, which Lapua case would be better running the 30 cal Berger 185's with 2208, Lapua Palma or the standard Lapua with large primer pockets? Anyone done any experimenting?

The Palma worked fine for me with 155s & 2206 but isn't all that flash with 210s & VV N550, which is only a tad slower in the 308 case than 2208. I recall others who didn't get much joy with 2208, so I would suggest you go for the bigger primer, but by all means try a less aggressive primer like the PMC Russian stuff.
