Re: Lapua or Norma brass ???
I can't get Norma locally, and Lapua is limited (.243, 308, 30-06, and 6mm BR). I asked if they'd order me some 6.5x47 and they said no.
Next step down for me is Winchester.

I've used Norma in 6PPC and 308 Win. I have no complaints. Just I have to order it. No one local carries it.

Re: Lapua or Norma brass ???
I prefer Lapua. It is bigger in diameter and is a better fit in factory chambers.

Some will argue that Norma brass, is much like Federal brass, this is to say it's softer. Some will argue that soft brass, at least in the necks, is better for accuracy, as it has a consistent bullet release. This is one reason, some argue, why Federal GMM ammo is so consistent and accurate.
This being said, I have some new 22-250 and 7 Rem Mag, as well as 1x 308 Win. brass from Norma that I have yet to try.
My only 'hands on experience' between Lapua and Norma brass is in the 338LM caliber.
I started off with 20 new Norma cases and 80 new Lapua brand cases. After 2 cycles on the 20 Norma cases, loaded to moderate pressures, I had a neck split. I'm now on roughly 5 cycles with the 19 Norma I have left and they've been fine. I have 9 cycles on the 80 Lapua cases and I've not had a problem with any of them. I'll be loading them up for the 10th cycle shortly.
I think Norma makes a quality brass case, but Lapua makes a stellar brass case.
