    Lapua vs Nosler Brass

    I'm at .5gr under book max but I'm not showing any apparent pressure signs with nosler brass, if anything just the slightest primer cratering but all my primers look that way.. the highest charge might be the slightest bit more noticeable so I backed down to the .5 under
