[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 3000415, member: 108777"] The poll is closed, is okay. I began to use Norma for my 338 LM. I weighed 100 pieces of brass. The weight difference from top to bottom was a variance less than 5 grains. Volumes also were very tight. Stretch after first shot to size them to my chamber, none found yet. Over-all length, so close trimming was not necessary. Was very easy to find sweet spot using ladder test. Even easier when scope dialed in. BA, the rounds discharged in a small circle when setting up. I normally catch my brass. I have not needed to adjust loading data since. I don't recall the powder I use. At this time I do not have the go get em to walk thru snow to garage where my loading stations are. Lapua was not available at the time, I purchased Norma. I later purchased the Lapua, 100 pieces. I am waiting for the Norma to show wear and tear before I open the box of Lapua. I might open it, number each brass, acid pen, and begin data with a weight, primer pocket sizes, and OAL of each. Sounds like a good thing on a cold and snowy day. Start my garage cast iron up, get comfortable, and start my dope/reloading laptop. Shoot and hunt well. Have fun. And always safety comes first.
