Case prep for new Lapua .308 Brass

[Thor2j]

Do I need to do a full size resizing on new lapua brass for a dpms LR308 or will it work as is??

Also are people finding the case is the right length or does it need to be trimmed out of the box??

ID/OD chamfer and load it.

I've had no issues what so ever running my OBR with Lupua brass right out the box.... Always good to ensure all your brass is in serviceable condition prior to rolling your loads.

load and shoot. The beauty of Lapua is that it requires no prep.

If it makes you feel better check your brass with your calibers/micrometer.

Load and shoot. Thats one of the reasons I buy Lapua brass.

I size and prep Lapua the same as I do Winchester,or any other.Thats just me,I can't prove that it shoots any better,last any longer because of the extra work,or anything else.Its just the way I do.I would run something thru the neck to straighten them out,they can get bent during shipping.

I run mine through a Lee Crimp die and chamfer it.

I just load it unless a mouth is dented then I just pull the expander through it. I got sub half moa results from my first loading of the cases. I will be buying more.
