[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1699430, member: 95733"] I guess my experiences with WW brass differ significantly to several other's here. I have a rather large amount of $$$ built up in Cabale'a/BP points. Unfortunately except for Turkey hunting ammo, powder, a few bullets and brass, Cabela's and BP sells almost no equipment I need or use and that includes my long time favorite Wasp Boss SST fixed blade BH's. Some time in January I walked into my local Cabela's and they had six bags all the same lot# of WW brass in 300 wsm and I bought all six, I guess that qualifies as recently. I did my usual take ten random shells from each bag and inspect them and all checked OK. Out of fifty pieces of new brass I will usually find one or two and once and in a great while five pieces that are damaged beyond saving. I can not say 100% for sure but I don't recall ever finding a piece of brass missing a primer flash hole. At .70c per piece of WW brass I accept these short comings. Norma Brass is almost 3x as expensive so it should be IMHO not close to flawless but actually flawless. If I were a competitive shooter or shooting with great regularity to ranges beyond 500 yards I would give Norma brass a try. As I still have several hundred $$$ in points left and no need for any more reloading components at this time, I might give a box of Norma brass a try and see if it improves my accuracy enough to justify the greatly added cost.
