    Brass recommendations 7mm rem mag

    Hi all, I've been using Nosler brass in my rem mag, haven't been that thrilled by it with pockets being quite loose so as I retire the cases I have im contemplating a shift, what have others been using that has reasonable reliability for supply as well as performance?

    I’m up to around 8 - 9 firings in my Norma brass with no issues or complaints. Just bought a new batch ready for when I need them. Price is up though which hurts.

    I had awesome results with hornady in my remmag. My mate was using norma along side me and he could never get the same results, we swapped a few cases of brass and it was the opposite.

    Surprisingly I've also been doing load development for a friend's 7mm Rem Mag lately and had good results from Hornady brass.

    I thought norma and nosler had shared manufacture, maybe I'm just being a bit hard on it...

    Ok, so i'll break with the pattern. All I use in my rifle is WW brass. Its been great so far, i get 5+ loadings from it without annealing and i have a heap in store for future use. About $1.20? a case here i think. I did buy a bag of Norma brass before it ran to stupid prices but it's unopened.
