What Companies Besides Norma & Bertram make .416 Rigby Brass ??
Folks,

after reading the bad reports on norma Brass in another thread, I am wondering what options besides Norma & Bertram I have for .416 Rigby Brass ??

I am not that happy with Bertram Brass and I do not want to spend 250-300AUS on 100 pieces of Norma Brass if I am only going to get 2 or 3 shots per case.

Thanks.

federal makes it, but I don't know if they sell just the brass. You might also try Quality Cartridge, and A-square is back in business. - Dan

I've already gotten more than two or three shots per case, with .416 Rigby Norma cases. If I remember correctly (I keep records, but don't have them here), I'm on my fourth, with no evidence of any problems.

I'm a lot farther along than that with my thirty-year-old Norma brass in 6mm Rem.

I had a '57 Mercedes that threw a rod in the early 70's. And it had carburetor trouble before that, until I installed a couple of fuel filters. That doesn't mean that I should run out and buy a Yugo because Mercedes's are NFG.

Norma is probably one of the BEST manufacturers of cartridge cases in the world. Maybe the best.

I am not Swedish, I know only a couple of Swedes and they aren't paying me anything. Free samples, however, may be sent to me c/o Don Greenbaum in Duxbury. .416 Rigby, 6mm Rem (no longer a stock item) & .308 Win are preferred.

Add Hornember to that list [Big Grin]

I'm suprised that winngton hasn't caught up on this nice oldie.

How about Hornady ammo?

PC,

Where did you see that Norma are not making 416 Rigby brass?

My mistake Mike, I misread Recono's post above, I thought the (no longer a stock item) in brackets reffered to the .416 Rigby brass as well but I think it only refers to the brass in 6 mm rem.

I believe Federal sells loaded .416 Rigby ammo. Whether they sell brass, I don't know. [Big Grin]

I can tell that you can't find better cases than Norma one despites what you have read in other posts.
