[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 25844, member: 941"] Dantec, I have a 416 Based 30Cal Wildcat which I've shot Norma brass in. I have purchased 3 lots. The First lot was used for 1400 rounds and some of the cases were used 45+ firings. Those cases are still OK to refire and may get the necks cut off and reshortened into a 6.5mm/416. Primer pockets are fine. Fired 210gr Bergers at 2750-2900fps from a 27" barrel with them. All are still fine. Lot # 2 was fired no more than 5-6 times before having about a 50% failure rate. Heads seperating... They're pretty much junk now. There may have been a recall on them because the WSM brass has the same problem and they were recalled. Lot # 3 is looking real nice again. I've only got a few fireings on them though so I can't say about the quality yet. They LOOK ok so far. As for the brand you speak of, I can't say but I'd look for Norma brass in the 416. [/QUOTE]
