Peterson SRP 243 Win brass

[IDHoundsman]

Has anyone used this brass? How does it hold up compared to the Large Primer pocket brass? Also, does anyone know when the next run of it will be?

I have used some, not enough to really comment but, last I talked to them they were supposed to run some next year I think. I got the last they had on the shelf direct from Peterson. I also bought a bag of 260 Rem SRP to size to 243 Win. It really seems to be quality brass but, I've not shot it enough to speak on the lifespan.

In april Peterson said "Welcome to Rokslide! We unfortunately do not have a run of .243 Win SRP scheduled, it is being temporarily discontinued at this time. We were just able to run standard .243 Win for the first time in 3 years recently!"

Is there really not a high demand for 22-250 brass? It seems like everyone that’s shooting one is always looking for other quality brass now that Lapua isn’t making it. It is one of the higher requested casings as well, it seems that that the 22 Creedmoor has stolen much of it's thunder in...

In that case, looks like necking down 260 or lucking up on someone selling may be the only option. I looked for a few months but, never found any in stock.

I’m running the LRP for now and have had no issues. I know doesn’t help you a whole lot.

I use SRP 260rem in my 7-08 Ackley. Works great, as does all my Peterson Brass. I use it exclusively in all the cartridges it’s available for anymore.

I would just like to be able to use CCI 450’s and not dig into a bunch of my LRP’s. Can’t find any large primers. Just a bunch of SRP’s.

I've been using their SRP 6 creed brass. I'm on my third firing of my lot of 200. I like it, it's held up well so far. The only word of caution is to start low with loads.

I wasn't even able to get the hodgdon max load on mine and it threw me for a loop starting out. Lots of pulled bullets.

The velocity is there, just at a lower powder charge. In my case it was with H4350.

I know this is an old thread, but I just located Peterson 243 SRP at EuroOptic. I couldn’t find it anywhere else, just got lucky. Should work out perfect for the 243AI I’m building.

Just started using some alpha 260 SRP in my tikka 243 and haven’t had any problems

Yeah I use it for my 260AI, best option available for a 260/260AI for sure.

We use Peterson srp 260 rem brass in my sons 260 ackley. Only 2 firings through it, but seems to be quality for sure. One word of caution i found out the hard way: Peterson has a slightly smaller diameter flash hole. I use a Lee Universal depriming die before tumbling and sizing all my brass. With that Peterson brass, I screwed up 3 pieces and my die before I figured it out....im dumb, I know. But the pin in my Redding sizing die pushes them out just fine without issue.

Yes, I found this out with other SRP brass and have switched my universal decapper to a small pin. Thank you for the heads up though.
