Just got a couple of boxes of this small rifle primer Lapua brass. First observations where good. Flash holes are to small for standard decapping pin, had to blow them out with a flash hole uniformer. If I can just get my chrony to settle down in the sub freezing weather I will be able to do some serious testing. Anyone tried this yet? Any observations?

Re: Lapua .308 Palma Brass

I've played with them in two rifles. They hold pressure slightly better than the standard primer, but I didn't see any difference in ES or SD.

I'm able to get more velocity with the same ES out of standard Winchester prepped correctly than the Palma Lapua.
