Norma .300 Win Mag brass

[Diesel65]

What is the maximum amount of reloads that you have gotten with this brass? Annealed/Not Annealed?

 

[Ricker]

I'm on third firing and annealed every time. Sorry I don't know what max is yet.

If Nosler brass is made by Norma like most people say it is. I am on my 20x fired, not annealed once. 2920fps current load.

How are your primer pockets holding up?

 

[VDVSNIPER]

as compared to new I would say I need about 1/2 the force. I am sure they have a few more reloads in them, but I retired them at 20x. When I first got them, I was wishing to get around 10x out of them.
Over the winter I will take the box of 20 that I have and just see how many more reloads can I get out of them before the neck cracks or primers start being loose to make them unsafe. I have Frontier brass that at 13x they started being unsafe, in a way that I can put the primer in by hand and also with just a paper clip from the neck I can push them right back out again.

I'm on 5 with no issues annealed every firing but I also don't get stupid with the pressure

I get around 18 before the “web” area above the belt becomes an issue (neck sizing only). I have a Larry Willis die that takes care of that, just a PITA.

Not mild loadings either. Annealed every firing. It’s good brass in my opinion. No RWS, but good luck finding that headstamp any longer.

Im on my 5th firing with my norma Brass so far so good.
