[QUOTE="Reloder28, post: 1668107, member: 6210"] Brass has differing internal volume from one manufacturer to another. Norma cases locked the bolt in my custom rifle with the lowest level starting charges while Remington brass allowed the same charges up to top velocity without issue. Remington brass is more malleable. It is my go-to market brass. I have always liked it but it is getting harder to find. I recently grabbed 1000 RP 300 WSM while the grabbing was good. Winchester is too hard & brittle. It will usually split the neck 1 out of 10 shots fired. Lapua is lesser internal volume but high on quality. My 308’s run 2900 fps with Lapua using 155 Scenars & group 1/2 moa every time. Norma is great commercial brass, top notch quality. But, like my 300 WSM, your gun may not like it. I have used Norma in every cartridge I could get it in. It has given me match grade results with all of my loads in my 7 Wby. I wouldn’t use Hornady brass for fishing weights. [/QUOTE]
