Lapua. Of those you named, I like the Win for the reason that it uses the large primer-- IMHO these seem to be more accurate-- poss. more uniform ignition, particularly when using very high load densities.

I use Winchester brass and large primers and use either Nolser 125gr Ballistic Tips or speer 123gr softpoints. I use AA1680 loaded near max.

The 2 most popular cartridges for benchrest shooters are the 22PPC and 6mmPPC. Both are based on the 220 Russian which is a 7.62x39mm case necked down to use .224" bullets with a small primer pocket.
They have found that small primers give more consistant ignition of the powder. This maybe the reason Remington makes their 7.62x39mm cases with a small primer pocket so the PPC cases can be formed from it.
Therefor it seems reasonable that if you are going for accuracy you would use the Remington cases with the small primer pockets.

Is anybody making cheap boxer primed brass cased ammo nowadays? I'd like to have a source other than buying Rem/Win bulk brass.
