Love my Lapua for .308 and .223, with consistency and velocity SDs in the single digits. Save this stuff for precision shooting out of my bolt guns due to cost. Less critical shooting is usually with Winchester and Remington. My AR is generally fed with 5.56, mostly Lake City, and Western. Also just got about a thousand rounds of Speer 2010 that looks beautiful and I cant wait to try some out. For situations where I anticipate not being able to retrieve my brass, I use a mixed bag of stuff like Federal, PMC, AMERC, IMI, IVI, and anything else I scrounge from different sources.
After doing the typical case sizing and trimming I generally bevel the throats and flash holes and flash pockets. I always sort by weight, WITHIN each different headstamp.
