is there any diference in the qulity of brass between these two as far as accuracy goes?
I would like to know also how much efford you put in prepping your brass for group shooting using ether case?there was a story written in p s about nect turning and how it effected grouping.

A story written

You can find a "story" written on just about anything. Some of them are the truth, some partly, and some just good reading. I would classify a story written on case neck turning as being all three. For example, if your rifle doesn't REQUIRE case neck turning then it would be a good read - wouldn't help to turn necks in most cases but good reading. On the other hand, if your rifle required some form of neck turning, you could do it most any way you choose and have the same result. If your loaded necks remain smaller than your chamber, you're good to go. You wouldn't want to do it with a file but you almost could....just sayin'. Folks go to great lengths to get their necks all the same and while I'm not saying that's a bad thing I'm just saying that it's of no use. Close to the same is all you need and I don't know how close - the closer the better I suppose. That ain't what wins benchrest matches is all I'm saying there. We almost forget that they measure the targets and not the necks.

Neither, would you go to a benchrest match without cutting your primer pocket bottoms flat - but you could without a problem.

Bottom line is that folks spend their time making certain their cases are as uniform as possible. You should too but you don't have to...to win.
 
6mm br lapua / 6mm ppc lapua

There's all kinds of gadgets to check cases, The bottom line is how well do you shoot.

That said lapua cases straight out of the box are very good . but neck turning really does help .

Every one has their THING when it comes to cases.
If you think it helps , do it.
 
Something to consider is this is not a comparison of apple to apples. Lapua doesn't make 6 PPC brass, the people using Lapua brass are starting out with 220 Russian cases, and blowing them out, to 6PPC. Lapua does make 6 BR brass, and if you have the right chamber you can take it right out the box and load it, and go have fun. Large vast majority of competitive shooters that shoot groups at 100-300 yards are shooting the 6PPC. You will find all types of combinations one of the most popular is with a .262 neck, requiring a bit of neck turning to get to this point. There are competitive shooters out there that turn there necks less, and it seems that neck size makes little difference on accuracy, as long as the brass fits the chamber. The thing is, few people (If any) shoot the 6 Br in 100-300 yard Benchrest. It is a common belief that the PPC out preforms the BR due to case capacity, and other issues, so with that said it is not a fair comparison. Now in 600 and 1000 yard bechrest there has been some records shot, and many are highly competitive with the 6BR. One of the caliber that is growing in popularity, and is starting to be the vast majority picked cartridge is the 6 dasher, where they start out with Lapua BR brass and blow it out. (Sounds like a PPC don't it?) These cartridges preform very well, and there is several theories of the best way to go about things, but many shooters use a "No Turn" neck chamber and shoot this brass right out the box. In long range they shoot for both group and score at the same time. With this all said, with your question it is not a true comparison of apples to apples. There is far to many variables to it, to compare brass quality of each cartridge. My findings is the Lapua brass is high quality, and my guess is they use the same brass to make both cartridges.
