Norma 221 Fireball brass

[Hoier]

Is this brass better than the Remington stuff? I bought 100 of them and am shooting them in my new to me xp-100. So far it is pretty accurate about 1/2" at 50(haven't shot it at 100 yet). How many firings would you guys guess I'll get with this brass?

I recently asked this same question. If you anneal on a regular basis and don't load hot loads, 50 reloadings is possible.

I've used 221 Rem brass for my Vartarg...sloppy pockets were the usual case....19/H322 & 40 V max...then formed 223 Win brass to VT...much better......then bought some new LC 223 from Adam formed to VT...I'd think you will lose your Norma brass before you wear it out..
