[QUOTE="Kiwi Greg, post: 908569, member: 13456"] I tested 300 Rum brass a while ago now for the Edge. I tried RP, silver FC, Nosler, Norma & Bertram. I measured weights, capacity & sectioned all of them. Nosler is Norma in the 300 Rum, it is soft, but not as soft as FC. Yes the Bertram shows pressure quick, it is the biggest in the head, so even if you are clearly overloading it, the pockets are still tight, the opposite of FC. The Bertram brass I had was long & the necks were thinner. Nosler/Norma gave the best velocity for powder weight but RP would take more powder & so gave the best velocity in the end. The Nosler/Norma is the "nicest" brass. I ended up just sticking with RP brass. This is just what I found for my own piece of mind with the brass I had at the time. [/QUOTE]
