[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4229566, member: 15054"] Lapua makes small primer brass and Midway USA has it in stock. Only thing I have heard was it was made for the high pressures that some bench rest shooters inflict on their cases. I have bought 300 large rifle .308 Lapua cases and those pockets will stretch if you try and push it. I could not get in an upper accuracy node with them as the volume was too little in the case so I use Winchester cases for that. Lapua cases were then used with 41.5-43gr of Varget or 4064 and 165/168 gr bullets. Around start loads. That 46 or 47 gr did not work in my Lapua cases. Some loaders used a long drop tube to get those sticks to stack better and found pockets stretched quickly. Small primer pockets helped that. I have heard in cold weather the small primer pocket 308 brass will have some delay. Some reading if you want to know some more stuff. I never felt the need for them.
