"Norma" brass in a 30BR?

[NorCalMikie]

For you Guys that shoot a 30BR, anybody use Norma brass?
We all know that Lapua is the "go to" brass for 22, 6, 30BR and a few others.
I don't shoot the 30 BR (yet ) but I've made 30 BR out of Lapua and the guys think it's great. Anybody try Norma brass? If not, why not? Thinking of making up a batch of "new" Norma in 30 BR.
Opinions please and thanks in advance for your input, Mike.

I use Norma for my 6BR but so far I am sticking with Lapua for the 30BR. When I first started forming 30BR cases I thought it would be better to use the less expensive cases while I was fooling around with that. I had a lot of Lapua on hand and so I am still using them up.


I doubt I will change brands in the 30, seeing that Lapua has changed the neck wall thickness in order to be more consistent, and though I have not seen them say so in print I think they fixed some primer pocket problems as well.

Dave: I've never cared that much for Remington brass. I use it in .221 Fireball only because that's where it came from in the beginning. I've thought of going back down to 30 from 7MM but the fact that it's Remington made me think twice.
Lapua seems to be the best but the Norma works super in the BR cases and it neck expands real easy. I've done a few 6BR up to 6.8 in the Norma and it also works real well. Even gone back up with once fired from 22 BR to 6.8 and 30 with no problems. Starting from new might be even better??

I use Norma brass on my 30BR and I prefer it over Lapua.

They expander better when forming the brass (zero neck splits, with Lapua I get about 1 to 3 per 50 brass).
The neck thickness is a little more than Lapua.
And after some 10 or 12 reloadings, the brass are still in great shape!
