[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2610152, member: 15054"] I got .1 that is 1 tenth better groups with lapua in my .308. Yes the primer pockets fail first in most cases .. that is if you are minimally sizing your brass. Jedabug i have a simple plumbing fitting that works great for measuring case shoulder setback when placed on top of the case and measuring with dial calipers. I was setting my shoulders back 6-8 thousandths and my winchester brass lasted 4-8 firings. Depending on load.... After realizing my errors i shot that same brass 2x more and then primer pockets began getting loose. I am glad i learned this with my cheaper winchester brass. The small primer pockets are not suggested for cold cold weather hunting. You can give the guys at Gene Sears a call as they sell both and I think a few of them shoot the 308 in competition. I liked the Lapua brass so well i got a second box and a box for my 243 then to help pay for it i sold off the other brass i had. [/QUOTE]
