Well, I would say--based on the evidence of a LOT of Campfire members, that Pierre van de Walt is FOS on this subject. Or maybe he just doesn't know the basics of resizing brass.

Which makes me wonder about his other knowledge.


I vote FOS. I have had a few loose primer pockets on a few cases cycled many times working up loads, some of which were obviously a bit warm with physical pressure signs along the way. Norma/Weatherby brass is top shelf. I don’t bother with other brands. Some of the Nosler branded cases were made by Norma. Happy Trails
