6mm Br Norma Brass

[Murray Brook]

I have been using Lapua brass in my 6br but they are getting hard to source here in Canada. I have a chance to get some Norma 6Br brass. Is there a big difference in brass quality or dimensions. I've used Norma brass in other cartridges and find them very good. Any input would be great. TKS

I’ve found it to shoot as well as Lapua with load date interchangeable for the same speed but the primer pockets only last 6-7 loads versus 12+ for Lapua.

Norma Brand 6BR Brass

Looking for some examples of folks using the Norma 6BR brass in either a straight 6 or one of the wildcats. A quick search on here has a little info. It does have thicker necks and doesn't seem to hold pressure as well as the Lapua brass. Thanks in advance for the help and good shooting Rich

@Jet
I did run a search but didn't come up with that thread. Maybe I worded it wrong. TKS

I'm still using 100 norma, 1k rounds, the pockets are getting worn. Other than that they were more accurate than the lapua 100 I'm running.

The Norma will be a tad bit thicker in the neck area if you need to neck turn. Tommy Mc. Will shoot the same as Lapua.
