Just picked up some .338 Lapua brass. Headstamp says Graf .338 Lapua. Did a search and didn't come up with much. Is this quality brass? How does is it stack up to Lapua?
 
Re: Graf .338 Lapua brass?

I think it's made for Grafs by PRVI. My 7.5x55 Swiss brass is stamped Graf but it comes in bags that are strikingly similar to PRVI.

If it's anything like my 7.5x55 brass then it will be nothing like Lapua quality, more like Remington.

It's annealed, the lengths are consistent and it shoots decently but the primer flash holes need to be deburred, case mouths chamfered and deburred and neck thicknesses were not as consistent as the Lapua 308 brass that I have and the 2 pieces of NIB 338 Lapua made brass that I have. I don't own a 338 LM though so the few pieces of brass that I have for it are from:

Norma, Jamison, Hornady, Lapua
