[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1161059, member: 16938"] Contrary to internet wisdom, in the Ultra Mag cases and many others Norma/Nosler is the way to go. I've seen over twice the life in Norma cases loaded to the same velocity as RP cases. You'll use less powder to get there too. I'll only use RP or Federal in a pinch. The mistake happens when people transfer their hot RP loads directly over to Norma/Nosler cases, which stretches the pockets early. I've found that in the RUM cases Norma/Nosler takes ~ 2 grains less powder to produce equal velocity to the RP brass. [/QUOTE]
