Thread: Best brass - Norma / Lapua

Norma used to be the primo brass back before Lapua and the others came on the scene. Maybe back then the others were just so bad. Nowadays I'm not so sure. My own experience with for example 6.5/284 necked up to 284 only lasting 3-4 firings before primer pockets gave up versus Lapua which lasts many more loadings. Weight variation on the Norma was also greater than the Lapua.

Personally have found no difference between Peterson and Lapua in 308W. Both have similar SD for weight variation. Both have similar neck thickness quality. Prefer the Lapua though as it has more powder capacity. No feeling yet for the life of Peterson.

No experience with ADG.

Peterson should have been on the poll.

And of course nowadays it's much more "in"" to say you use Peterson or ADG
