    300 WM, is Norma the best option for buying brass?

    Re: 300 WM, is Norma the best option for buying brass? Some would argue that Norma is actually the best brass there is, and you'll pay through the nose for the pleasure of using it. l've only used .243 Norma brass but l must say that it was very consistant for both weight and uniformity.
