Anyone have any experience with Norma and ADG 300 wsm brass? Any difference in toughness? Dimensional consistency? Volume?

I could buy Norma now or hold out for ADG… also have a line on Winchester brass but while good, felt ADG or Norma would be the way to go.

Appreciate the insight.

Norma brass was pretty soft for me. Lots of trimming and shorter brass life.

only on first firing of my ADG but seems a lot tougher

If, you can get some ADG 300 WSM brass it's definitely the most durable and will hold primer pockets the longest of all the 300 WSM brass. Norma is very good brass it just won't take the abuse, without giving up primer pockets, like ADG will, but, that's not necessarily a bad thing because if anyone is stretching primer pockets after only a couple firings, the load is likely a lot hotter than the user thinks it is.
