The poll is closed, is okay.
I began to use Norma for my 338 LM. I weighed 100 pieces of brass. The weight difference from top to bottom was a variance less than 5 grains.
Volumes also were very tight.
Stretch after first shot to size them to my chamber, none found yet.
Over-all length, so close trimming was not necessary.
Was very easy to find sweet spot using ladder test.
Even easier when scope dialed in.
BA, the rounds discharged in a small circle when setting up.
I normally catch my brass.
I have not needed to adjust loading data since.
I don't recall the powder I use. At this time I do not have the go get em to walk thru snow to garage where my loading stations are.
Lapua was not available at the time, I purchased Norma. I later purchased the Lapua, 100 pieces. I am waiting for the Norma to show wear and tear before I open the box of Lapua.
I might open it, number each brass, acid pen, and begin data with a weight, primer pocket sizes, and OAL of each.
Sounds like a good thing on a cold and snowy day. Start my garage cast iron up, get comfortable, and start my dope/reloading laptop.
Shoot and hunt well. Have fun. And always safety comes first.
