[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 26163, member: 941"] Brent, I picked up 50 Norma brass for my brothers gun last fall. They were real nice as fas as consistancy. There was NO noticible increase in thickness in the neck after going down to 7mm. Not even .001. It did help having to resize down for concentricity though. More forming = More chance to straighten up. We're a bit on the lazy side as cases go. Everything is automated. The Norma brass cleaned up inside and out on 48 out of 50 peices. The Winchester brass was good for about 15 out of 50. Look for the brass to grow nore longer than thicker. However, The Winchester brass is still in use except the ones that the primer ockets went loose on, and his Norma brass has almost all failed at the head. He's probably got 6 or 700 rounds through the gun on those brass. The norma brass lives about 3-5 firings. I got 416 brass that did the same thing last year so be sure get new stuff. My new 416's are gonna live forever. [/QUOTE]
