Lapua brass is by for hard to beat. When you go from Lapua to Norma brass its a big eye opener. Lapua brass is way better on weight for piece to piece by same lot than Norma and Lapua is more consistent when doing neck turns. Norma brass has a big variation on weight and the way it neck turns and same goes for internal volumes. We all would be better off if Lapua would make 300 WSM brass.
Quality of Norma 300 WSM brass

Well...I gave them two weeks with no response or help, so here it goes. I had 150 pieces of Bertram 338 Edge brass....100 for me and 50 for a friend. I was still running REM 300 RUM brass when I got the new stuff, and had ZERO issues with the Remington brass DESPITE everyone on the planet telling me that the primer pockets were junk. Well, I got 7 firings out of the REM stuff with no issues, but just got the new at the time RL33 and was going to start load development with the "new" brass. Long story short, pretty much EVERY one of the Bertram brass necks split on the first firing......
. i got ZERO response from email and phone messages. DONE with them.If I could find some new Rem stuff I would go DIRECTLY back to my load of 91G H1000 and the 300 Berger .
Rant over,
Tod
Quality of Norma 300 WSM brass. I had put up 50 pieces of 300 WSM brass from at lot made in 2012. This had been put up for a record barrel I have. After doing neck turns brass was within .3 on weight. After firing brass 1 time in barrel and checking internal volume, all where within .1 on volume and .3 on weight. Bought 300 pieces this year and this brass does not have the same quality by far.
I haven't experienced anything like that. Have you addressed this with Norma?
Got any you want to SALE ? Are trade 2 for 1 !!!Glad I've got some 2012
