Lapua gold box vs blue box brass question

Hello All,

Is there any measurable difference between Lapua 308 Win brass in the
old gold cardboard box versus the new plastic blue box?
I know there was a slight change in 6BR brass neck thickness when Lapua
changed the packaging but wondered if 308 Win may have changed as well.
I'm going back to shooting F Std. next season and have both varieties of brass
to choose from.

cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris , they should both be to Saami specs . If it were me I wouldn't be too concerned about the different batches being Lapua. Should all be the same . Hope u have fun ! Regards Graham.

Before you mix the two boxes I would weigh a sample from each. The only difference would possibly be weight, other specs 'should' be the same.
