Not heard that, but with only 30 years in this game/sport I know enough to not be surprised by any news along such lines...Sim G wrote:Definitely Norma over Win and Remy. Now I am prepared to be corrected on this, but I believe all "American manufactured" brass is actually made by Starline for the respective companies, except for Hornady who do make their own...
I DO know that 6.8SPC brass with the SSA brand is made in-house - and I also know that the Hornady stuff is very good (some of the USA shooters rate Hornady as equal to, or in some cases better than, Lapua...)
Re: Choice of brass?
Federal brass feels nice but is a bit soft, I rate Lapua and Norma equally but Norma 'feels' different. I did read that the majority of the machinery used to make brass comes from Serbia but how true this is.....

Re: Choice of brass?
Lapua then Norma for rifle, Starline for pistol. PPU (Privi) pistol is extremely poor, 2 uses in my .44 using low loads and 5 out of 100 split :(
There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)
