Good to know. They are made here in PA right?
I can see a 280AI in my near future anyway

I think Peterson has good place to post.
Here how they select brass.

You can get 280 brass and I got some for my wildcat 280AI.

Peterson '06 brass
FYI, TFL folks,
The new offerings from the OP are now available. I just ordered a box of 50 Peterson 30-06 unprimed cases from Graf and Sons. They're pretty much on par price-wise as Lapua '06, at least as from the last time I bought some.

I've got ADG in .308. It is intentionally made with heavier brass and slightly lower powder capacity than average, that being a tradeoff made to get longer reloading life. For that reason, it will be a little less suitable for 1000 yards with 155-grain Palma bullets than higher case capacities will. The case weights vary just a little, but the internal volume seems to be super consistent. The heads are double-struck to be very hard like LC brass, so these would be a very good choice for the M1A for anyone still using one in service rifle matches.
Made in Kentucky.
Now I just need to acquire some Peterson to do a side-by-side.

I have been using Peterson brass for the last few hundred rounds in my Creedmoor. So far quality is excellent!
And made in PA. Lapua Quality at Hornady prices.
I will use Peterson from now on.

Peterson's regular grade 6.5 CM is about 5.5% less expensive than ADG's standard grade with the annealing stain not polished off. Peterson's select grade is about 10% more expensive than ADG. Both claim completely state of the art facilities. I've got to get some Peterson in to do an apples-to-apples comparison.

I have not used ADG yet.
I got the Standard grade small primer stuff. All were nicely annealed. All case mouths were nice and round. None were chamfered. Case length extreme spread was only .004" and the weight variation was less than 2 grains across all 50 sample pieces I weighed.
I have noticed in the past new cases tend to give me a wider extreme spread in velocity vs the same cases after being fire formed. This has not been the case with these Peterson cases.
Also worth noting is that I had less than .001" cartridge base to shoulder Datum variation across those 50 sample pieces. I will say that the case heads seem to be a little soft. Almost every piece fired has a slight ejector mark, even for pretty light loads. No flattening of primers. Although, the primer pockets are holding up nicely. I have 30 pieces that have 5 firings on them and the primer pockets seem to be fine. A wee bit loose now, but two of those firings were with really hot loads.
I also noticed not one burred flash hole out of all 250 pieces I bought
