You are careful with everything else but don't mind mixing brass. It's not just about case volume. There will be different neck tension and Lapua will be thicker at the neck. You could at least keep the brands separated in your ammo box e.g. Lapua to the right, Hornady to the left.

I've been one of many who's looked for the "good load" for this round for months. I'm no closer, so I'm thankful for all the contributions everyone has made to the effort. I am very puzzled on using a magnum primer for such a small case. My old habits were magnum primers only for large volume cases, or very cold temperatures.
Anyone care to take a stab as to why such a small case is doing better with the mags than say the bench rest primers?
Thanks again to all,

My efforts today with 223CFE produced another 4"+ group at 100 yards, or as my son and I call it "improved cylinder".
On to the next round of powder!
Stay Safe all,
