[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1140534, member: 90397"] Regarding the prior question about comparison between Hornady and Norma 300WM brass: My experience in the past year has been that Hornady 300 WM is much softer than Norma. I showed signs of over pressure on the case heads with Hornady cases 4 grains lower using H1000 than with Norma. The problems with Hornady case overpressure did not seem as severe with RL23 but the Norma still allowed me higher velocities before signs of pressure. With the Hornady, it looked like I'd lose enough velocity using them with 190 VLDs that I gave up load development with Hornady and just stuck with Norma. I have had no problems with my Norma brass and have some cases that have been reloaded 5 times but thus far I have only had to neck size the cases. At present, I'm happy enough with the Norma 300 WM brass to go the same route again in the future. [/QUOTE]
