Thread: Norma 6.5 Creedmoor brass Capacity?

Anybody using Norma brass in 6.5CM that can share their fired brass capacity in grains of water?
Just doing some research before I drop the coin. Prefer LR pockets rather than SR brass.

52.5g H2O with fired cases through a Sako 85

And just out of further interest, does anyone have the same information for the Starline LP 6.5 CM brass?

Thanks, and apologies for the light hijack ;-)

@reynard Thanks mate I had already spent the money and my Howa chamber works out at 53.3 @NZ_noddy in my Howa Starline LR 6.5cm capacity is 52.1gr H2O

Thanks. :-)

Out of interest, Lapua are now producing large primer 6.5 Creedmoor brass.

That is interesting! Any idea on the reasoning (other than to sell brass of course ��)?

Found it: https://www.lapua.com/new-6-5-creedm...artridge-case/

It seems to be primarily for military purposes - given the military's adoption of the Creedmoor they must be hoping for some ammo contracts!
Could be useful for you too @spada

Did you know you can get Peterson brass in Large Rifle primer as well? And it's cheaper than Norma too.

And outstanding brass it is too. Along with Lapua and Norma that the AMP folk say are top three of the heap.
