what is the "lapua " of .223 brass Lake City?

Re: what is the "lapua " of .223 brass Lake City?

Lapua 223 brass for me has not lasted very long. The pockets loosen up in half the loads compared to LC. WCC didn't last long either. Longest use I ever got out of 223 brass was RP. The necks split before the pocket loosened. You couldn't read the head stamp anymore. Started with 500, averaged 7 loads each, once I got down to 300 I just let them lie.....
