    The Lapua brass is quite a bit thicker than the Hornady brass - Alliant used Hornady brass in their load data.

    I haven’t measured Hornady brass case capacity but all the info on the interweb says it has a fair bit more capacity than Lapua.

    I would imagine 43.9gr in a Lapua case would be compressed, but the Alliant data does not state it as a compressed load.

    So @rambo-6mmrem is 100% correct: tread carefully.
