[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1561708, member: 91402"] I use Rel 19 in my Magnum Mauser .308 Norma. The hard part was finding consistent brass. When I bought it I picked up an assortment of ammo at a gun show, all Norma of course, but it was in different bullets weights. I just wanted the brass anyway so I shot it off at the range (and discovered my rifle is a shooter) but when I went home to reload it, and returned the next day, it didn't shoot as well. Later I weighed the cases and found as much as 30gr. difference between them - the most I have ever seen even when weighing from different manufacturers. It was old brass but still usable. I separated it into lots according to weight and the accuracy returned but I will be ordering a new lot of brass from Norma. The performance is virtually identical to my .300 Win. Mags by the way but I like the European stock on this rifle. [/QUOTE]
