Maybe with some prep work. Wouldn't be my first choice of brass. I prefer Winchester, only from the economical standpoint. If I could justify (be able to tell the difference) I would buy Lapua.

Not if you do some proper load development.

I've got plenty of lapua brass. Just trying to save a little green. I figured shoot it once after I reload then chunk em.....

May not last as long as Lapua (should say "Probably"). I'd say you can get more than one load out of them. If the case volume is similar the load won't change much.

Run 'em. They work fine. I've shot lots of sub 1/2 moa groups with all kinds of brass, IVI69, IVI70, WCC68, TW66, FC, LCxx....even PMC.
Lapua lasts longer, but FC performs great.

What turbo said. FGMM, LC work real good but Lapua is a lot better brass. Case Prep helps alot.

Run em till they crap out. You'll get 10-15 loads out of them if you don't hotrod.

Good News. After too many years of reloading I decided to treat myself and bought 1000 rds of 168 FGMM. I thought I'd never shoot it up. Then someone invented F Class and before I knew it ....it was gone. The good news is that I have prepped it all and am now more than 1/2 way through the second firing.....neck sizing only. What a treat it is to neck size vs full size. Accuracy iwith 44.4 Varget seated same as FGMM gives better velocity and equal or better accuracy in my R-5. (1/2 MOA). I hope to get a 3rd and possible a 4th loading.....Load em up and shoot!!
