G'day all

I'm looking for brass for my 30-06. I cant get any Lapua brass but found some Sako brass. Does anyone know if Sako brass is good?

Re: Brass
Hi Bob, I can't remember the case capacity. Some European brands have heavier case walls.

Can you get Winchester locally? Or Remington.

G'day Nathan
I've been using lapua for years especially the Lapua palmer brass in my 308 & 358 win, lasts forever. I haven't used Winchester or Remington is it OK?
I received my Sightron S111 3.5-10x44 scope, looks great, very clear, can’t wait to get this rifle together and try out the turrets!

Cheers
Bob

Re: Brass
Both brands are fine. Quality control is the same and sometimes there will be a malformed case- especially with Winchester (splits/dents) but once you are up and running, the cases perform very well. No accuracy concerns, especially in .30-06. Winchester has very tough primer pockets. Case capacity is extremely good, similar to Lapua. Rem normally Has slightly greater capacity again.
