[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1770432, member: 33915"] I'm not disputing that you get ejector marks with Norma brass. I also get ejector marks easier with Norma or Nosler brass (same parent company) as it is thinner, softer and lighter in general so have to load for a little less velocity but Norma brass is far more weight consistent than Remington and most other brass. Due to it's quality I'm willing to take a small velocity hit and load a little lighter. I test the velocity quite often on my reloads using a Magneto speed and I promise you 70 grains of X powder in a magnum Remington case will have a higher velocity than 70 gns of X powder in a Norma case of the same caliber and trim length, using the same primers. It's a general statement for sure but in my experience it also generally holds true. I'm not saying heavier brass is a bad thing, it can be very good if the heavier brass is consistent in weight and volume as you can get higher velocity using less powder. [/QUOTE]
