243Win brass Lapua or Norma

[500YardHog]

How does the Norma stuff stack up against the Lapua ? I have a Cooper Phoenix on the way in 243 Win and just wondered if it was worth the wait for Lapua brass.

I just ordered some Lapua from Bruno's and they said it should be in and ready to ship in 7 to 10 days .

I have 100rds. of fireformed .243 A.I. Lapua brass that has been shot at least 16 or more times with very hot Ackley loads. The gunsmith who put my rifle together predicted my brass would outlast my barrel and he was correct. When given the choice, I always pick Lapua over Norma; simply because of the price. I feel that Lapua is equal to Norma in quality of brass but Norma is just too much money.

I agree with chino69

The Norma brass I had was soft and did not hold pressure nearly as well as Lapua.
