I agree with Mathman. What Lapua does is save you time. Other brass can be made to be just as accurate but they're gonna take a certain degree of sweat equity to get them there. However it is something that needs to be done only once. When I am buying brass to shoot in competition, longevity is not on my short list.
Even with Lapua I use fire culling as my final step in deciding what is practice and what is match quality.
