hot30,

The various accuracy-minded online shooting supply retailers that carry Lapua brass might be good sources of info on Lapua's plans, since they are some of Lapua's largest customers:

 

I would try calling Bruno's Shooters' Supply

http://www.brunoshooters.com/

Or Russ Haydon's Shooters' Supply

http://www.shooters-supply.com/bullets_and_brass.html

Or Sinclair International

http://www.sinclairintl.com/components.html

etc, and ask their people if they are aware of any such plans to produce the brass.

 

I don't know of a toll-free number for Lapua, but you might try their online contact form and see if you get an answer there:

Great!  Having alternatives to Winchester brass for the 7WSM would be nice.  I haven't had any problems with the Win brass just yet, but there's no doubt Lapua makes pretty much the best brass available anywhere.  Keep us posted on what you find out.  I filled out the online form requesting they make brass for the 7 and .300WSM as well.  I'll let you know if I get an answer.
