Palma brass ??

[243LPR]

Thinking of trying some Lapua 308 Palma brass. Anyone using this and if so any issues from using the SR primer. I've read that firing pins may have a negative effect on them.I would think Savage uses the same pin for large and small primer cartridges.

I am happy with them though I have never used Lapua standard LR brass. I use the BR4 with varget and 4064

I'm using the LR version now but it's soon time to replace it. Will probably with SR type next.

Remember that the flash hole on the Palma is extremely small. Smaller than your 223 and maybe smaller than 6BR. That knowledge comes in handy when you are decapping.

The flash holes are .060", and you will need the smaller decap pin. If your rifle has any ignition issues, you will find it with this brass and small primers.

I made a decaping pin out of a #54 drill and a sanded down piece of 5/16 drill rod after I went through the flash holes with a #53 and took brass out on every one of them.
