New Brass - Norma or Lapua - which is best

#1 Post by tonyshooter »

I am after some new .243 Win. reloading brass.

I have always used Norma ( once fired ) but now I need to buy some brand new cases.

Can anyone offer guidance on if Norma is better than Lapau or vice versa.

Thanks.

Tony

Lapua is the benchmark.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

While Lapua have the reputation both are usually excellent just buy the cheaper one.
