[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1574946, member: 33915"] A local friend of mine who was and still is looking for some Norma brass in 7 MM Remington Magnum that can't seem to be found right now. I tried to encourage him to check out the Hornady brass as there is some for sale and pretty cheap. He was concerned about weight differance between pieces and said from his research Norma brass was generally within 3 grains of each other. So I did my own little bit of research on a box of 20 new brass I just got from Hornady. Here are my results: I numbered each piece of the 20 box of brass and weighed each of the 20 added them all up and divided by 20 to get an average weight. The average weight came out to 257.8 gn. Then I figured the differance from the average weight and listed it below. Not sure that's the best way but never having done this before I wasn't sure how exactly to do it but this seemed to me to be a reasonable way. [LIST=1] [*] [*]Here are the weights per: Differance from averate of 257.8 in grains: [*]1. 256.1 1. 1.7 [*]2 .256.4 2. 1.4 [*]3. 257.1 3. .7 [*]4. 257.5 4. .3 [*]5. 269.8 5. 2 [*]6. 259.1 6. 1.3 [*]7. 258.2 7. .4 [*]8. 257.4 8. .4 [*]9. 257.7 9. .1 [*]10. 258.4 10. .6 [*]11. 257.3 11. .5 [*]12. 257.8 12. 0 [*]13. 255.2 13. 2.6 [*]14. 257.9 14. .1 [*]15. 260 15. 2.2 [*]16. 258.8 16. 1 [*]17. 258.4 17. .6 [*]18. 258.5 18. .7 [*]19. 256.8 19. 1 [*]20. 257.1 20. .7 [/LIST] If you wanted to be pretty picky you could throw out 1, 13 and 15 and it would still be a very good deal. Not saying these are as good as Norma's but they don't look all that bad either. Of course this was 28 Nosler and not 7mm Rem Magnum but to me the numbers didn't look all that bad. Had to edit here. Once I pasted to the thread from my computer it was all compressed together so I made corrections so to be readable. Tried several ways to edit this so the rows would be seperated but none worked.
