Thread: Peterson 280ai Brass any good?

It's at least the equal of or better than Norma or Lapua. My next lot of .308 brass will be Peterson instead of Lapua.

I'll second that. Shot FTR for several seasons using Lapua Match brass. Went down the rabbit whole hog - neck turned, weight sorted, seating using Wilson dies and dial indicator on an arbor press...

The Peterson brass in 6.5C I got recently has the same feel in terms of neck tension in its virgin form than Lapua brass that has had a ton work done to it. The groups sizes and SDs I got even during fire-forming confirm it.

If I ever need new brass for precision work, it's going to be Peterson.
