Hint......no other forum member on any other forum has ever mentioned named lot of brass or for that matter, any other said problems even remotely similar.
Bigger hint- many other forums say Alpha Creed brass is equivalent to serving spam instead of prime rib.

I must have been lucky. There’s no visual imperfections in the Peterson brass I bought. The weights of the cases varied equal to the best brass I’ve measured - equal to Nosler brass.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

All, well most points indicate Peterson has ironed out their growing pains & make acceptable brass at this time. Thanks guys for the input on the recently made Peterson. I may still try some at a later date.
But, I'll brag & say I just scored a few boxes of Alpha. Have really wanting to try it & holding out & looking for a good while just paid off.

I believe Big Stick's message got Petersen's attention. They even admitted to having CC issues. I've always been to harsh but I don't believe in cussing someone unless it's face to face. No one needs any BS and to waste of time dealing with junk is BS.

I have all the concentricity and consistency I need from Lapua and Nosler.
My hope from Peterson is a harder brass that will take higher pressure before giving up the primer pocket.
Maybe punching flash holes is harder with harder Peterson brass.
I hear Lapua drills their flash holes. That could solve Larry's problem.

Then don't waste your money on Peterson brass , primer pockets won't hold up half as long as lapua but it will outlast nosler It also pressures out a lot earlier then other brass including Hornady

I use a fair amount of Lapua for a reference comparison. Last year, I was looking for .300 Win Mag brass and found some Peterson in stock, so gave it a try. Consistency is at least equal to Lapua. Bottom line, it is excellent quality. One nice point on .300 Win Mag in particular is they offer a “long” version of .300 Win Mag, which is 0.010” longer to the datum line. So, the “long” brass tends to fit .300 WM chambers tighter than other .300 Win Mag brass, close to starting off with fire formed brass. They also deburr the inside of the flash hole, which is a nice touch and saves a step in brass prep. I’ll buy more in the future. Here are photos of new unfired brass.

Do they offer that in a lot of cartridges, or just belted magnums?

smokepole,
the “long” version brass is only available for .300 WM right now from what I see. It sure is nice.

Stick, it looks like they gave you the ones they had culled. One or two, I could understand but it looked like over half were dorked up in one way or another.
