ABM (Norma Brass)

[cfreeman]

Anybody use Norma Brass for .308, specifically Palma or the like? They have a good price on ABM brass, which they say is Norma at midsouth. Any reason it won't work in a palma or bolt gun? I know lapua is the go to, but the price on this stuff is attractive.

Thanks

I use Norma for all my 308 bolt gun applications. I really like the brass and my gun shoot's supper
tight groups with the Lg Primer Norma Brass. And yea the price is nice too.

I use Norma for my .308, have had excellent service from it. On loading 10 this week and haven't lost any to loose pockets, no other issues. I also use ABM brass in my .300WM. I like the ABM brass. I am not sure who the maker is. I called ABM sometime back about it and they said it is made by a reputable maker. No kidding!! It seems to be harder than the other Norma brass I use if it is indeed Norma. I am on round 3 with the 300 and the pockets are very tight.

According to the ad there is one one selection of .308 Win. brass noted as being made by Norma. The others are not noted.

The ABM 300 and 338 Norma Mag loaded ammunition is headstamped 'Lapua'. So far, it's the only way to get this brass made by Lapua, buy the ammunition and shoot it for the brass. At $85.00/box it's a little pricey but at least we get the brass which Lapua refuses to sell here in the U.S. It's for sale in Canada and Australia but not here!
