Best 300 win mag brass

[Silentnight]

Did a quick search on here and didn't find much. What's yalls opinions on the best 300 win brass available today? I've heard good things about lapua and RWS brass but I don't think either are made anymore. I've got a mix of old 300 win brass that I'm going to sort and load for now but I don't know how much life it has left in it

RWS is available, but its not the same as it used to be. It's just re-badged Norma. I have not found anything better than Norma since the old RWS stuff dried up. The Nosler stuff is also re-branded Norma, although it is really well sorted and worth the price if you don't want to cull.

Thanks Robert I appreciate it. I was reading on other sites that were saying good things about Norma too. Are there any places to find Norma brass? I was looking a little last night and could only find hornady in stock.

I need some too, and am not having much luck finding it either. Never had an issue finding it before. I'll post back here if/when I locate some.

Idk why Lapua doesn't make 300wm. It's not exactly an odd ball cartridge.

There was some Norma brass that was stamped Lapua, not sure they have ever made a belted case.

I never understood it either. 300 win mag is one of the most popular magnum cases produced. You would think they would want to tap into that market since they're "superb" brass makers

I’d be interested in a hundred or so of the Norma......

Creedmoorsports.com has some of the Nosler stamped stuff in-stock. $74.95 per 25.........ouch. I just got lucky and found some I had stashed back and forgotten about, or I'd probably be buying it right now.

I’ve been using Winchester brass for the last 40 yrs. I never knew the brass would make that much difference. I guess I’m way behind.

Dang, seems like when I started considering a 300wm build nosler and Norma brass was plentiful.

Now, it's out everywhere. Luckily I have a little time to find some and will stock up when I do.

OP and CC, I'm sure the Win or Rem brass is good for most anything you want to do. People have been using it for years. It needs more prep work and sorting which means time and a little cost if you sort some out.

I look at like this, the brass is the foundation of a good load. If you're building a custom and wanting to draw the most potential from it, then start with quality components. For the 300 wm and most any other magnum that's Norma and Nosler.

Exactly why I chose it as the parent case for my 7. Didn't want to ever be in the position of the 28 Nosler guys trying to chase down brass. There seems to be a minor flaw in my perfect planning now. Lol

There's a lesson in there for all of us reloaders, though I refuse to acknowledge it myself When you find a component you need..........buy as much of it as you think you'll ever need.....plus a little more! I'm pretty good about following that rule, right up until it's time to check out. I'll just get some more later. haha

I bought 50 Norma 300wm cases off of TBH a while back.
Once fired when I bought them.
