I didn't know primer size and bra size were related! I learn something new every day on this forum! ;-)
+1 on what bwaites posted, I've had the same experience. I haven't put that many shots on my Hornady brass so none of mine has failed yet, although I load it near the max.
The Hornady brass is roughly 60% the cost of Lapua brass. The Hornady brass come in boxes of 50, so you can buy smaller lots if you are pinching pennies. It looks the Lapua brass may be a better long term value by a small margin.
Sometimes you can get a deal on ammo, like Alexander Arms case lots of 200 rounds of the 115 grain Berger hunting bullets.
When you factor all that in the brass gets pretty cheap. The Alex-A store is not working as of this writing, so I don't know if that case lot deal is still available.
Otherwise I'd get the Hoarnady 123 loads. It's very good for factory ammo and seems to shoot well in most Grendels.
