I paid for this brass, it was delivered to me promptly, the problem is it is the BBR 16 338 LM brass, not Lapua brass as advertised.

I contacted seller, ask for my money back, due to the product being advertised as Lapua & it isn’t.

I was informed it was made by Lapua, but if I wasn’t satisfied, send it back, once received, I’d get my money returned.

Sent it back, got my refund promptly.

I don’t want to create or get in the middle of a pissing match but I’ll give you the facts.

This brass is indeed Lapua brand brass. It came off the same line as the blue box Lapua that you get anywhere else and is created to the same specs and tolerances. It was made for Barnes and has a different headstamp. That’s the only difference.

Were I selling it, I would disclose that it has the different headstamp, but nothing in the original ad here was false or lying.

Midway sold the brass at a steep discount as compared to blue box lapua because they snagged the huge lot on an overrun. Even as such, their price on it was all over the board and some days it was drastically different from the previous day. You saw someone selling it who listed it extremely cheaply to get it moved quickly—even if you paid the asking price of $195/box, you still saved about $120 overall.

I see both sides of the story—you feel you were misled. I would urge you to look at the fact that you’ve only seen one or two batches of the differently-headstamped brass go cheaply. As it’s still the same exact product, it still carries most of the $260/100 value of the blue box.

Bravo to the seller for offering you your money back. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to wait until he receives the brass back to refund you. Most vendors wouldn’t refund you until they receive your RMA anyway.

Having said that, IMO you should just keep them and use them. They will serve you well!

I could have bought it from the other listing for 1/2 that if I wanted it. I feel it should have been posted in the listing, if it had been, I wouldn’t have bought it.

I’m sending it back tomorrow, I'll get my refund per PM.

I do appreciate your statement on the matter.

Hopefully we get it resolved. It’s resolved.

Need any 6.5 creedmoor brass? I have 224v brass, I have h4350 but you probably don’t live in norCal. I have some rcbs 224v dies. A vortex 30mm scope mount. A rcbs non electronic scale and powder despensor.
