Description
There's a reason the .220 Russian case from Lapua has a near-mythical reputation among precision reloaders. It's the brass that built benchrest. When you want cases that come out of the box ready to deliver consistent volume, concentric necks, and primer pockets that stay tight through cycle after cycle, this is the standard everybody else gets measured against.
These are brand new, unprimed cases that use a small rifle primer pocket. Lapua draws the case heads exceptionally hard, which is what gives them their long service life and keeps primer pockets snug even after repeated firings. The body and neck are held to strict dimensional tolerances, and the neck and shoulder are annealed so the brass can take full-length or neck sizing again and again without cracking out early. That combination of hard base and properly stress-relieved neck is a big part of why reloaders routinely get dozens of loadings out of a single case.
What Makes Lapua .220 Russian Brass the Benchrest Benchmark
More than ninety percent of serious benchrest competitors use Lapua .220 Russian cases as the starting point for 6mm PPC. The case is also the parent for the .22 PPC and the 6.5 Grendel, so if you're forming wildcats or shooting PPC chambers, this is the raw material you build on. The uniform wall thickness translates directly into concentric loaded rounds, and that concentricity is what puts bullets into the lands square and keeps groups tight.
Forming and Loading Your Lapua .220 Russian Cases
Straight out of the box these work beautifully in a .220 Russian chamber, but most buyers are grabbing them to neck up or fire-form into 6 PPC and similar rounds. The brass responds predictably to sizing dies and holds its dimensions through the forming process, which saves you the headaches that come with inconsistent cases. Manufactured in Finland and consistent from lot to lot, this is brass you can load with confidence and not think twice about.

Frequently Asked Questions
What primer size does the Lapua .220 Russian brass use?
These cases use a small rifle primer pocket. That holds true whether you load them as .220 Russian or form them into PPC wildcats, so plan your primer selection accordingly.
Can I form 6mm PPC brass from these .220 Russian cases?
Yes, and that's exactly what most buyers do with them. The .220 Russian is the parent case for the 6mm PPC, .22 PPC, and 6.5 Grendel, and these Lapua cases are the brass the vast majority of benchrest shooters use for 6 PPC forming. The uniform wall thickness and consistent dimensions make the forming process predictable.
How many times can Lapua .220 Russian cases be reloaded?
Lapua brass is built for a long life thanks to its hard-drawn case heads and annealed necks. Reloaders commonly get dozens of firings per case when loads are kept reasonable, and the primer pockets tend to stay tight well past where cheaper brass starts to loosen up.
Are these cases primed or ready to load?
They ship brand new and unprimed. You'll need to prep them to your preference, add your own primers, powder, and bullets. Many handloaders like to run them through a quick case prep before the first firing, though Lapua's tolerances are tight enough that minimal work is usually needed.
