Lapua brass

Just a FYI to everyone. I got an Email yesterday, from Bullet Central, that until further notice, Lapua won't be producing brass for consumer use. Between the Ukraine and energy issues in Europe, I suppose, what is here, is here. I stocked up on .284 brass yesterday, so I don't get stuck.

I might try some Alpha for the 6Dasher just for the time being.
These are certainly trying times for shooters

That was my understanding also. 5.56 and 308 W were the hot and heavy one's they will be putting most out for military for now.
And reducing a few others, that are not selling as much as others. I guess will will just wait and see what shows on our shelves.
I did see where a couple other brass suppliers are also, focusing on the Ukraine situation with their sales also.

I hope so. That was not how Bullet Central laid it out. I have 400 .284 cases now, so I should be fine for this barrel and possibly another.
