Norma brass

[243LPR]

I'm looking to get new brass for my 243 and see Norma has it listed in their lineup.Anybody ever try it? How does it compare to Lapua for case life/durability?

Word on the street is that Nosler brass is Norma....
IF that is the case, you better not spend much for it... Just my $.02

I loved my Nosler .280AI brass.

7 or 8 full strength firings and the pockets were still tight.

The Norma brass is reportedly softer than Lapua but in my experience it is very very well made, consistent, and concentric.

Well if Nosler is Norma,I'll pass. Nosler brass is the reason I need new stuff. All have donuts bad and primer pockets are loosening up after only a couple loadings,to the point I'm surprised they stay in the pockets as easy as they seat.Guess it's back to Lapua.
