6.5-284 brass Lapua vs Norma

[hothead]

could someone give me info on Norma 6.5-284 brass. I currently use Lapua but would like to try Norma.
1 , how does the Norma hold up to high prressure loads
2. what is the neck wall thickness of Norma.
3. what does the norma brass weigh ? does it have the same capacity as Lapua ?
4. is it more or less uniform as lapua ?

thanks Ken

Are you having problems like extraction with Lupua brass ?

 

[hothead]

no problems with lapua, my reamer is a .296 nk and was hoping Norma would be a no turn .
I want to down load for mid range and was hoping not to have to turn necks.

They cost the same, and from what I've read, they're equally uniform, but that Norma is softer. I've only ever used Lapua brass (as .284 Win. and derivatives); given the equal cost I didn't want to risk buying Norma and having it last only 3-4 firings compared to the 7-8 firings I'm getting out of Lapua.
