284 Win brass questionsh

How does the Norma brass hold up compared to the Lapua 6.5-284 or the Winchester brass. I have not had good luck with Norma brass in the past. They are about the same price so need some good info before buying any. The Winchester seems too hard to get now so probably won' fool with it.

Thanks

I shoot the Norma in my 7mm's for hunting, they are softer, but accurate and seem to hold up fine, like them better than Nosler, however for competition I really like my Lapua brass for my 284, I believe you'll get more firings!
 
They work great for me. Over 10 reloads with no split necks. Very consistent weight. The necks are thicker so you may need to trim if you have a tight neck.
 
I have been running Norma 284 brass for two years. I'm not pushing it superhard ,2800 ft./s with 180 grain hybrids. Both lots of brass I have have been using have been reloaded 10 times and primer pockets are still tight. I would agree though that Lapua brass seems to be a bit harder and may produce more reloads,time will tell.
 
I just bought 100 W-W 284 WIN cases. they seem to be available again. But, be quick!

Jerry Turney told me that W-W work as well as Lapua and are cheaper and don't need forming from 6.5 to 7mm!
