RE: New Brass
There are folks that think Norma has the best brass.....I haven' t tried it so can' t say...to me the best brass is cheap brass......go to a shooting range and pick up the brass on the gound.....don' t mix brands....stay with one brand but brass can be relatively cheap.....and that makes it good. Remington, winchester, federal all seem to have roughly equivalent brass.
Brass on the ground might be often reloaded but in my experience it' s once fired!!!!
