For the same money, which would you rather have?
Why?

RWS.

I used it at one time in 404 Jeffery. It was the best most consistent brass I ever used. On the other hand I've had a couple of batches of Norma brass that were very ordinary and not even as good and consistent as some of our domestic brass.

RWS and as much as I could afford. Really tough brass, great quality, consistent.
Cheers...

RWS was a problem with US manufactured 7x57 dies as they have slightly different head dimensions. Use a #3 shellholder in place of #2 and its OK, but not a perfect fit.

But , very good quality, consistent robust product.

I am using Norma 7x57 brass at present, and have only good experience with it.

RWS
Best brass I've ever used in my 9.3 x 62, including lapua
Great case life with heavy loads
Only reason I don't use it for everything is the cost.

Same here, the 7mm Mauser Norma brass is very nice, as is a bunch of other Norma brass I have used. It is my favorite stuff next to Lapua.
