While researching reloading 6.5 creedmoor I came across some old posts on other forums saying prime ammo uses norma brass for their 6.5 offerings. I emailed the company to verify and while they did say their brass was made by norma, they claimed to be unsure if it was the same quality of brass that norma puts their own name on and sells as virgin brass.
I would like some input from those with experience. If it really is the same brass it seems like a normal brainer to buy the loaded ammo since it is roughly the same price as virgin norma brass.
I've also considered just getting a couple hundred pieces of 1x fired hornady to hold me over until lapua releases their creedmoor brass but I don't like the idea of putting in the time and money to work up a load just to switch brass and start over. Or has hornady stepped their brass game up and actually made it worth using?
