What factory ammo would you buy to shoot and keep the brass for reloading. I will be reloading the brass and want to buy good stuff to start with. I don't want to try different factory loads so the brass stays consistent. I've seen good load recipes on here so that part will be easy.

Southwest Ammo or Corbon. Both use Lapua brass.

I had really good luck with the 175 southwest match ammo.

I haven't had any chance to test with any others.

mine would shoot .5 moa with standard 168gr FGGM, but yours may not if it is picky. Good luck...

^^^^^^^^^^^^

I would also look at the ammo Bryan Litz is making. It also uses Lapua brass.

Mine likes 175 GMM with the barrel set back a bit.
