Default Brass for 6.5 CM
I cant quite justify spending $160 on a box of lapua. So I need some other suggestions that will give me good results.

Star line.

They offer LR or SR primer pockets. I went with the SR for more beef in the case head, no issues with ignition at -20.

How about $150? Alpha munitions.

What’s your budget?

Default brass choices
lots of good loads can be made from Win or Rem brass, whole lot of hooey that you need Euro brass to load good shooting ammo....

There are several options available, what tolerances do you want, and how long do you want it to last?

I've been using Sig Sauer brass that I picked up at Cabela's for $40 per 50. The weights are all very consistent. I haven't had any issues with the primer pockets. It's way better quality than the Federal crap I was using before.
