I disagree Lapua is great stuff, not for the average loader but if your chasing precision, (there is a reason most if not all bench/precision guy's use it).

As for the other makes of brass they ALL work well. My hunting brass, I have multiple calibers which have 20-30 firings with no special prep work. But then again I don't chase the fastest velocities on the planet.. most if not all of my hunting /varmint rounds are loaded right in the middle of the recommended loads in the reloading manuals.

Lower pressures = longer brass/ barrel life.
