I was under the impression that lapua only started manufacturing 22.250 cases in Jan 2010. And it had only just found its way over to the UK. maybe I am wrong Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varmartin Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 As Alan has said...this Lapua brass has only just hit the shelves ...it may well have been another make .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have not used Norma brass , But I have talked to shooters in the US and NZ , and the concensus , seems it is not as good as Lapua , and is quite a bit softer than Lapua . So if you like running hot loads in say a 338LM or any other cal , even given the fact that Norma is in some case 1/2 the cost of Lapua , most feel because of the better quality & hardeness ( which means you can reload it twice as much as Norma ) ,is still better to buy lapua , and not Norma . The only fly in the ointment is the sad fact that , Lapua do not make a large range of cals , And I just wish they still made the 300WM brass & maybe some WSM brass .

sir-slots-alot Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Chris, I use Norma and Sako brass at the moment in the 22.250 , I would agree Norma cases have soft brass..... I can tell by the amount of brass removed when I trim the Norma cases , Far more than from the Sako's. I do like Norma cases , but they are quite a bit more expensive than Lapua and I believe that you will not get as many reloads from them ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Interesting obversation Chris and Alan, I have had more split necks with Norma 22-250 cases then any other, i stopped using them in my Ackley after i was experience neck splittong on the 3rd reload. I swapped to Nosler and i am on my 9th reloading cycle with the original 100 cases i bought and not one split neck. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I tried other brands I settled on Norma cases with my .222 and hardly ever had a split neck, certainly with far less frequency than when using Federal, rem or WW brass in that and other 22-centrefire calibres. The Norma stuff just went on and on. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Tony, I have had two straight 22-250s in the past as well as the current ackley and i have had the same problem with norma 22-250 cases in all three rifles, yet in my 222 just like yourself i used norma cases with no ill effects.
