[QUOTE="SuperBruce, post: 2599671, member: 120544"] I recently bought a 300 WSM rifle and went through this myself. Norma brass is among the best brass for 300 WSM and it also turns out that at this time Normas 300 WSM ammo can be among the more affordable ammo as well and after shooting it you're rewarded with the fire-formed brass. I was lucky enough to find some Norma 150 BT ammo at my local gun store for ~$32/box, so it was cheaper than buying brass alone. Chances are you won't find ammo that cheap but consider the cost of the other 3 components and your time and enjoyment when doing the math. I personally also find it comforting to send a few quality factory cartridges through the rifle first thing and check the brass dimensions/condition when making sure a new rifle is properly setup: this just eliminates a couple more variables. Whatever you do, don't mix and match brass, even with the same brand: get as many rounds/cases as you'll expect to use for a while so they're all from the same lot. [/QUOTE]
