    338 edge brass

    What's everyone use for their edges and why? Have some Norma and Remington but was thinking of getting some Bertram brass?

    You'd do better with Remington.
    The Norma is also good.
    Bertram brass has always given average results in all my edges mate.
    Iirc it has less capacity. @Kiwi Greg or @7mmsaum will no if that's fact.

    Ages ago now I posted a comparison.

    RP is the way forward.

    I have had fantastic results with Bertram brass in mine. Also had great results with Rp brass except for primer pockets.
    I ended up with a mountain of Rp brass that wouldn't fit the bolt face as the rim was over sized. Frustrating job turning a few thou of each one. Bertram brass up to six firings so far so good ref pockets.

    The guys in America seem to really rate the Bertram stuff.
