I am getting spoiled I guess, but deburring flash holes seems like really tedious work, and I have never turned necks. A few bucks to avoid those chores seems worth it to me.
Thanks, every one.
Fred-
Prepped has different meanings to different folks. You certainly don't have to deburr flash holes or neck turn. I deburred 500 pieces of prvi 22-250 brass in front of the TV watching a couple of episodes of game of thrones so didn't invest any time. I neck turned them with a cordless drill and it's pretty easy that way. I had $216 invested in those cases where 500 pieces of Lapua would be about $490. I've never neck turned Lapua so I can't say how out of round they are, but I have necked turned some Norma and it wasn't any better than standard remington, winchester, or prvi in neck concentricity.
I hear what you're saying though. If you want the best ready to shoot out of the box then get Lapua, Powder Valley usually has the best prices on it.
