Re: Lapua 223 brass question
The brass you have is old stock Lapua brass, if you look at the head stamp it doesn't say MATCH on it. This is brass that has not been produced for a number of years and does have a smaller .050 flash hole. There has been some of this surfacing lately from where I'm not sure, I had the same problem and had it replaced, at my cost. Talked to the Lapua rep on a few occasions with not much luck. I don't see why you couldn't drillout the hole to .080 but be cautious of any pressure signs from loading, start lower than usual. The flash hole wasn't the only difference in this brass. USE CAUTION !!!!
