"I've loaded a bit with Norma, and more with Rem, Fed, and Win. They all seemed to work fine."
So there/s your answer.
In response to that, I'll clarify my original post... sometimes finding a great load has been easier than others, but I don't have a large enough sample size of comparing loads to know if brass choice has contributed. If the higher price of Norma brass makes it easier for me to find a highly accurate load, and overall adds to accuracy, I'll pay for it. I'm not a benchrest shooter but like to do what I can to eliminate rifle accuracy from the list of variables when I'm hunting.
Interesting there seem to be conflicting views in the posts thus far on longevity, but a general impression of good consistency. The comments on softness are interesting, I thought I noticed this when trimming it, why is softness a problem?
Thanks for the feedback.
