I reached out to Lapua in an attempt to purchase an additional piece of 243 brass for a 243AI build. I, like others, prefer to retain 100 rounds after the sacrificial AMP piece. This was their response that I found odd:
“Brett,
The "extra" piece of brass was strictly accidental and was not a "thing". It was due to scale set up errors.
Lapua does not recommend re-annealing our cases, as the results of such a procedure can never be guaranteed. Re-annealing may change the case proportions and the metal hardness in a way that makes the case potentially dangerous for both firearm and shooter.
Our apologies for this inconvenience.”
What are your guys‘s thoughts on this? I use an AMP annealer on all brass for my 25+ hunting rifles and have never heard a response like this from a brass component company. Furthermore some of the top-tier companies provide a AMP code for a given lot number. Any thoughts?
