300 WSM brass?

[Rusty85]

My first 300 WSM throated for 215's should be done in the next few weeks. What brass is everyone running?

 

[L.Sherm]

I think Norma is the best if you can find it.

 

[Rick Richard]

Norma.

 

[L.Sherm]

I wished ADG would make it.
Are you listening ADG!

I have heard good things about Bertram but cant find it anywhere

 

[Rusty85]

How many firings are you guys getting out of Norma?
I can get Bertram from Caleb but he's saying that the weights are all over with the batch he has right now.
I've heard rumors about ADG making it but from what I understand it's just rumors.

I can get Bertram from Caleb but he's saying that the weights are all over with the batch his got right now.

This is exactly why I wont touch Bertram with a 10 foot pole.

 

[L.Sherm]

Not only there weights are horrible neck thickness is all over the place

 

[Rusty85]

I was able to get a few pieces of the first 33 nosler that they ran to test and it was really consistent in both neck thickness and weight.

I have been using Norma for over 15 years in both 300WSM and 270WSM. I have reloaded some 10-15 times.

I emailed them earlier this week about that

 

[Stan Malinky]

Norma, 10 Plus reloads!

 

[25WSM]

If you keep the loads mild Norma will hold up but if you push it any the primer pockets go away fast. You can count how many times you fired it by counting the ejector marks on it.
Shep

I have loaded a number of calibers with Norma brass[280 Rem,270 Win, 6.5 Cm) including the Short Mags. In my experience the Short mag brass is different. it is heavier than Win, Fed, and Rem etc. So my Norma short mag brass has never experienced loose primer pockets even after 10 or more firings. I may not have pushed the loads but my loads would not be considered mild.
