Appears Lapua has streamlined their product offering, and is no longer making 7mm08 brass.

When did this happen?

Guess I was asleep at the wheel.

Where did you see they aren’t making 7MM-08 anymore?

Due to the continued high product demand and the prevailing market conditions impacted especially by the Ukraine situation, the availability of some of our products is unfortunately limited and delivery times have become extended. To better serve our civilian and military obligations, some of our components will be temporarily suspended from production, including the 7mm-08 Rem. This is due to prioritizing production lines. For our consumer customers, it means that some Lapua products will probably be out of stock in many places in the world for some time to come. This doesn’t mean that we are cancelling any products. It is our intention to resume production of these products as soon as market conditions stabilize. We’re also taking necessary steps at our production sites to improve production capabilities with e.g. new production lines installed during 2023 and 2024. We work as hard as we can every day on all of our sites to produce high-quality ammo and components for you and aim to serve you at normal levels as soon as possible.

Just a thought - guy could always neck down some .308 brass.

My .260 Rem runs on 7-08 Lapua brass.

My .260 Rem runs on 7-08 Lapua brass.

We make 243's and 260's out of Lapua 308, and the first step down is 7-08. Lapua won't be suspending any 308 production any time soon.

I've seen Lapua brand .260 Rem in stock a time or two recently.

They are also adding .300 WSM, 6mm GT, and a few others this year, too.

I'm all in on this - seeing is believing, though

Wish they would start making 7mm-08. Might be the only one as they surely wouldn't stop production on a top seller.

I bought a couple boxes at Bruno’s last year sometime. I traded some off. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that. It’s not listed anymore on the website. Anyone tried the Alpha 7MM-08?

Where are you getting the idea this is the case?

As others have pointed out, it shows on their website...

I use Alpha and PPU in my 7-08. The PPU has been very good - I loaded a group of PPU cases this afternoon for the 14th time. I'll probably retire them after this firing as the pockets are getting loose. The Alpha brass has been excellent. I ran one lot through 25 firings and another lot through 20 cycles.

I'm a hunter/plinker sort of guy so I'm not as fussy with my brass as some. In my estimation the Alpha is on a par with Lapua (use it in 308 and 6.5 CM).
