    I guess new proprietary case designed by Lapua for a specific purpose (accuracy) so like any r&d spend, they wanted to recover their outlay...

    At the end of the day, it's awesome brass, bloody strong, & if treated right will last for a lot of firings so its not actually that expensive in the grand scheme of things... Some people spend $4 on projectiles to shoot dirt, sometimes rock's, & steel...

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    32 firings, crap that's good going.

    Maybe I should buy some quality brass instead of Winchester...
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
