[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1052656, member: 4191"] This question has been asked in the past, and so far, no one has ever responded stating that they have used both brands of 300 WM brass in their 300 WM. We are left speculating. My tentative conclusion: both Norma and Lapua 300 WM brass are of high quality - dimensionally. Lapua 300 WM brass is tougher, and Lapua primer pockets will survive high pressure loads better than Norma brass. Norma's Weatherby cartridge brass case heads were so soft/weak, that they were the equivalent of disposable brass in my .338/.378 Weatherby back in the early 90s. The soft Weatherby brass was a significant consideration when I decided to move on to another .338 caliber cartridge, the .338 Imperial - using RWS's .404 Jeffery brass. [/QUOTE]
