Default The solution to large rifle primer Creedmoor brass?

For those that prefer large rifle primers or have a good supply of them. This looks like a good option.

Good to know, thanks. Pretty sure I am going to do a 6.5 CM sporter next and wasn't warming up to Hornady brass or Lapua SR primer brass... Have heard about Alpha but figured we were SOL up here.

i shoot the small rifle brass until the primer pockets get loose enough to put large rifle primers in.

it really extends the life of the brass

Truth be told, I have never used Nosler brass due it's being maligned on the internet for being too soft.

I don't specifically have a problem with the SR primed Lapua brass either..... it's just that I have so many LR primers on the shelf that it steers me away from having to use something else.

Have read nothing but positive feedback on the Alpha brass....
