Ahhhh, that would be the "off-the-shelf" brass I mentioned, correct?

And it's all expensive, not just Lapua. Hornady, Nosler, Norma, all well over $1/case.

Yep.

I at one time thought 6.5-284 brass was expensive.

I at one time complained about Wby. brass prices, even went to the trouble to get a CH4D die to swage .25-06 W/W cases costing fifty cents into .240 Wby brass, costing a buck fifty. Now, I can't find fifty cent W/W .25-06 brass. I get the feeling when that brass eventually resurfaces, it won't be fifty cents any longer.

Then, I became interested in the 26 Nos. Even at SPS blem prices that brass is over two bucks a copy. But, it's very concentric, very high quality, already prepped, etc. etc.... shocked

At least that's what I keep telling myself.

So, I guess it's all relative... wink
