    Pretty much any small primer lapua brass that arrives in the country get snatched away.
    It must bring something extra to those who use such brass.
    As an aside, and provided you are careful on how you label your ammo,such brass can be necked down to 7mm for the 7-08. Improving slightly its performances.

    6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser. Almost exactly the same powder capacity as a 308, and therefore a 7mm08, and the deer won't know it's not a Creedmoor!

    So it’s a 7 mm08 for the win

    Find yourself a nice Sako 75 and keep it

    Remember if you go Creedmoor, you have to grow a manbun too. Stick with what you know 708.

    Best to stick with 7mm08 if you already have the components for it, End of the day its all much of a muchness sub 400y. Besides, most of the "old guard" on here will have you believe a 6.5mm bullet will struggle to put down a rabbit on a good day, much less a deer. Especially if its shot from a creedmoor.
