In my experience lapua brass can stand a lot more pressure than any other brand of brass and hold up well doing it.
here is a copy/paste from an article about Tom Sarvers 1000 yard 1.403" world record group shot at thunder valley range that helps to prove my point
Tom was shooting a big 30 wildcat he calls the “300 Hulk”, a shortened 338 Lapua Magnum necked down to 30 caliber, pushing 240gr Sierra MatchKings (0.711 BC) at close to 3000 fps. Tom is using about 85 grains of H1000. He anneals the Lapua brass after every firing, and the brass that set the record was on its 58th firing!
