Does Black Hills use NORMA brass?
About to start an auction and just noticed this.....NORMA brass on my Black Hills 338 Lapua Magnum shells. Normal????

not for most of their stuff,....as far as I know. The brass alone would cost the same as thier loaded ammo. You get your auction ammo first hand??? or from another source?? 0 -
Not saying it "can't be" but that does raise the eyebrow a little. You should call Black hills and see if they did a special run with Norma brass. Like JustC said that is expensive (Best Quality) brass next to Lapua. Wonder if that might be a box of experimental reloads that wasn't supposed to be shipped or got mixed up out of the factory, which I doubt
but who knows?0 -
The real question to ask is how many manufacturers make cases for the .338 Lapua?
From another article regarding the .338 Lapua:
"Accuracy testing was done with two different loads; the 250 grain hollowpoint Scenar bullet load from Lapua, and the 300 grain Sierra Match King hollowpoint load from Black Hills. The Lapua ammo uses cases of that make, and the Black Hills ammo uses cases made by Norma of Sweden. "

I have a guy who does ammo exclusively....he is a distributor and buys also buys out closed hardware stores and such so he ends up with some odd items.
He brought me this box of ammo and I just didn't know what I was looking at. Since this isn't a "standard" load I deal in I wanted to be certain on the Norma brass question that poped up in my mind.
Thank you for the great bit of info nononsense!!!!0
