That's the rumors I'm hearing.
What do you think?

My 6.5 Creedmoor Alpha is really nice. Easily equals and maybe better than Lapua.

I've got some in a 22 Creedmoor and it is very nice and I KNOW it is way better than a batch of 243 Lapua brass I got one time.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

What do you think? Rumors are just that.

It’s the best brass I’ve used, in multiple chamberings.

I've got 22 and 6.5 creedmoor brass from them. It's as good as the best batches of lapua I've had, if not better

Looks like the problems are confined to 6XC

John Must be some pretty damn good chidt John. I've never seen any brass better than Lapua....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

Rumor is it's only slightly better than Peterson brass

I have so much brass right now for my creed that it will take me a long time to burn it up... Does alpha make 22-250 brass... I just bought a varminter that needs some good brass:

I don’t think so. 22 Creed I believe.
I’m still using Lapua for my 250, which works great but I’d buy Alpha if I could just since it is made here the US. I do use a bunch of Lapua though. No issues but Alpha is good.

I've never heard that. Actually heard the opposite. I'm flush with Lapua so I've never looked elsewhere and wouldn't hesitate to look at Alpha with what I'd heard.

Looks like the problems are confined to 6XC I've only worked with one lot of their 6XC brass, but it's better than the Norma 6XC brass I've used, and is as good as their other offerings, IMO.

I've used some of their 6.5CM with small primers and it is excellent.

I bought 200 for my 6CMs and tried to sort it by weight and soon realized I was wasting effort.
It's excellent brass IMO!

Always been and will continue to be a Lapua fan. Alpha rivals Lapua.

Alpha is on par with the best.
Great folks too.
