Lapua
They always give you extra and it’s consistently good. Volume across lots is same same
Peterson makes great brass, sold in bulk I’ve always needed to prep, also had some pretty drastic changes in internal volume across lots requiring changes in components

Peterson is my opinion. I’ll admit I’m partial though. A couple years ago I could not find any 300 win mag brass for the life of me. Showed up at the Peterson factory in Pittsburgh and not only did they sell me brass they also gave me a tour of the facility.

Lapua. Always. I only have one rifle in a caliber that Lapua doesn't make brass for, 25-06. I am about to try to make some out of 30-06 brass because it is Lapua.

You’ll have to neck turn, just a heads up

I always thought Lapua was undisputed at the top of the list.

Never used Lapua because I could never find it when I needed it, but Peterson is my absolute go to. I've had nothing but good experiences with their brass in multiple calibers.

I've not used ADG but have used Lapua and would put Alpha right up with it.
I’ve never used Lapua. I know it’s very popular for being high quality but ADG and Alpha have not left me wanting. Both have been extremely consistent in my experience. Maybe one day I’ll try it

I’ve used quite a bit of Peterson lately, and it just doesn’t stack up to Lapua. I’ll only be shooting Lapua moving forward. It’s harder and more consistent. Peterson is good, Lapua is great. I have shot over 1000 pieces of both, in 6.5 PRC, 6 PRC, 28 Nosler, 300 WM and 300 Norma.

Peterson is my first choice followed by Alpha and then Lapua or Starline if I have no other choice... Made in America comes before anything else for me. Plus Peterson is high end quality brass as well. Good luck with your choice.
