Yep I'd agree it's quite possible that Norma has changed their 338 Lapua brass since I last used it. I have been using 338 Norma mag brass and that is fine although still a lot softer than Lapua brass is.
I still don't know of anyone shooting lapua's or wildcats based on the brass and using Norma brass, I think it's worth the extra money to go to the very resilient Lapua brass.
