Less the 12.5 % taxes it says at the top of the page and today's exchange rate. The page says all moneies are in NZD unless noted.

Ok so finally got someone there to talk to me.  The price you see is what you get regaurdless of number ordered.  So that 100 pieces for 159.11 plus shipping which he quoted me at around 25USD so add that and you have about 185 for 100 pieces of brass in 300 win mag thats  1.85 a piece  The shipping would be the same though so the more on board the price goes down  so for 2 bags its about 320 + 25 shipping making it 345 which is 1.725 a piece.  I am not sure it would be worth more than Norma or Nosler in the long run.. Nosler I can get for 1.38 a piece and Norma for 1.52 a piece So your talking substatial difference when you think of it that way.
Has anyone tried lapua 300 win mag brass that can say for sure it is better?  Question

Real steep! But if it were established that they may last 4 or 5 to one of anything else I could see gettin 100. It would be hard to justify if they are only slightly better.

They say Lapua can be reloaded a min. of 10 times but with a mag like the 300 I dont' know.  Any user of 300 win mag lapua brass please chime in.  I dont' know how many the others get I have just started reloading for it.

I am using Lapua brass in my 300 WinMag now. The good: 20 cases have gone through three loading cycles so far and I can see no strain on the brass, primer pockets still tight and it still chambers fine after neck sizing only i.e. no bulge in front of the belt. This is with a load of 75.0 gr RL22 and 180 gr. Nosler Accubonds with 215M primers. The flash holes are perfect, no deburr needed, and the primer pockets were about perfect when new as there was very little clean-up with my Sinclair cutter. After initial case prep (trim/chamfer/deburr/pockets/flashholes), 40 of the cases were within 0.2 grains weight uniformity. The neck wall thickness is extremely uniform, I see less than 0.001" variation case to case with an indicator that indicates to 0.0005". I have not measured case body wall thickness.
 
The bad news: I don't think this brass was ever trimmed by Lapua. I ended up trimming the 40 cases I selected to start load development with before I ever fired a shot because the mouths were out of parallel with the heads. No big deal, just took a bit of time. Point is the brass was not ready to load out of the box.
 
The $185.00 price is about what I paid for it delivered from the US source two years ago, it is not a bad price.
 
Hope that helps,
 
Texas

I have noticed that several overseas dealers have 300 win mag Lapua Brass. Is it possible to special order it from you?

Thanks

I've sent that email myself probably 10 times hoping they would get the message. Last box of 100 I bought I got from Bruno's and recall paying about $125 which was about 8 years ago.
