So Tyrone throws crap on Alpha based upon ONE internet post and then calls Stick an idiot...
Priceless... You know what I read, but not what I heard. Unfortunately, this is a case of one story coming from several directions making it seem like it happened several times.

Let me introduce myself, I'm Andrew one of the founders and Engineer at Alpha. A buddy sent me a link to this thread; I have not followed this page before so I wanted to introduce myself and chime in to the original post. We greatly value honest feedback at our company, if you've ever talked with us we normally tell you that we prefer to hear the bad reports because it helps us identify problems and make our product better; though we always enjoy reading and hearing about how customers enjoy our product. We strive for the highest quality and continually look to improve our products. That said, I don't know of any company that is perfect; specially when your product is used by individuals that load it themselves and their skill base and equipment vary from novice to well experienced and the self proclaimed master reloaders who have only owned a press for a year or two and know everything from the internet (lol). But we are more than willing to work with any and all to help them a better loader and better shooter. The post in reference concerning the 6xc brass is interesting to say the least. We do not publicly open up details of conversations we had privately with individuals. What I will say is that we worked extensively with that customer and after receiving samples of fired brass and loaded ammunition we identified a key problem that would cause a catastrophic failure. To the original poster, Tyrone, feel free to reach out to me at any point (844) 412.5742 ext 704 or my email andrew  alphamunitions.com. I openly discuss our products and try to the best of my ability answer any questions and explain any shortcomings we have had. This offer is to all the shooting community, call or email me with any questions or concerns and I'll do what I can to help. To the last few posts which could easily turn into a internet dumpster fire, things I absolutely have no interest to get into... To the Big_Stick chap above, I have no clue who he is and I can tell you for a fact he isn't on our payroll; so the statement that we (Alpha) got him to bash on a competitor on this forum is typically internet garbage. Thank you to all of the forum members who support our company and please provide us feedback on how we can continually improve our product and company, always know that people can reach out and talk to us. First class man, just like your brass. Absolutely! Doesn't get better then that! I only have 100 pieces of 22 Creed brass from them but will be buying more and other head stamps as well.

In my experience, Alpha Brass is 1st Class. Might even be better than Lapua.

That's great news to hear men, more than glad to have another top tier brass supplier, if they can consistently hang with Lapua, i'll be buying.

And Kingston has egg on his face? That's awkward............
Then, is it possible to view a thread without the same target posted by bsa for the 1200th time?

There's a significant segment of the shooting community that will have nothing to do with Alpha Brass after what they did to Peterson. Maybe I'm the one confused, How did a thread about Alpha brass turn into a thread about Peterson brass? Connect the dots please.

Gonna have to try me some Alpha brass!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

There’s a segment of the competitive rifle shooting community that believes ALPHA was behind public attacks on Peterson Brass. I hear it at matches frequently. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/13059291/1

Teal/VernAK, I appreciate Big_Sticks support of our company and how he vocalizes it so it spreads to other shooters like yourselves! I just want to squash the internet garbage being spread by kingston on how we somehow orchestrated an attack on a competitor through a public forum. I know Bob has been working with the Alaskan shooters so we can ship our product more cheaply to you all as UPS has crazy rates to get it up there. Once the virus clears up maybe I can convince Bob to head north with me to shoot a match up in Alaska and introduce ourselves to our Alaskan customers!
Clarified...

I just want to make it known that we are not the kind of people to do what Kingston is accusing us of. I should have worded my initial post (copied below) more carefully. There's a significant segment of the shooting community that will have nothing to do with Alpha Brass after what they did to Peterson. I retract this carelessly worded post and offer the following. For some, there is a perception that ALPHA Brass is behind scathing internet attacks on one of its competitors, Peterson Brass. It has been reported to me by multiple users that, due to this perception, they will not use ALPHA Brass.

Larry is such a Fuh King tard, he wouldn't know what it takes to win a match if if it smacked him in the back of the head like a flopping chrome. Hint: It has almost nothing to do with flash holes, "ragged" or not. Hint x 2:Larry could plink at his VW-sized boulders at 1,000 yards with the crappiest milsurp brass ever, and never be able to tell it from any other brass.

More hearsay, bullshit and rumors.... You're supposed to be better than this. I'm not about to read that link again, are you trying to imply 'stick was working undercover on behalf of Alpha brass? otherwise whats the relevance of the link? GMAFB.
