What makes Lapua brass worth 2+x everyone elses?

Prolly nothing really but it is darn good stuff if you are using a rifle capable of half inch or less 100 yard five shot groups it might help reduce your groups. For a hunting rifle or handgun it holds no magic and isn't worth extra money. I really like Norma brass and have to admit that loads put up in Norma .243 cases outshot every other brand case I tried.

Thanks Bill.  That's pretty much what I figured and I only ask because that's about all that's left in stores right now.  It sure isn't anything I need for the guns I have.  l guess 'bama, oops, Ol'bama, no that won't work either, Obama has been an excellent salesman for the firearms industry.

I'm picking up my new handi 243 tomorrow and thought I'd see if I could come up with some reloading goodies, I have about a hundred pieces of Winchester and Rem brass so I'm not hurting was just an excuse to get some new!  Between life and the weather, the only thing I've been able to do for a while has been cast and load.  Looking forward to doing some shooting soon!
Thanks
