Just wanted to share my findings with alpha 260 Remington srp cases.

*these were neck turned virgin cases and first firing,
copying a known load from my lapua 260 Rem large rifle loads.

Low-2778
High-2810
Avg- 2797
ES- 32 (raw) 19(refined)

As expected, alpha had slightly higher velocity due to case capacity and how they’re formed. I’m sure I can get lower ES/SD if I tweaked my load but it shot so well
(and this was 50+ rounds into it so I can gather warm Barrel data) I don’t think I’m gonna change a thing.

Picked up a hundred pieces myself partly because of reviews like this. Brass looks great... quick shipping and in a sturdy case. Now for the question, do you notice more or less capacity and or pressure compared to Lapua brass? And you said virgin and first fired brass, can you clarify if this was all first load virgin ammo?
