| The Norma stuff is apparently excellent. The other stuff is passable. Lapua is supposed to start making Dakota brass in the next couple of years. If that happens, the Dakota brass will be among the best going. |

| There may still be plenty of stock on shelves of brass made by MAST technology, all the .330 cases I have were so made.
Many are on there 5th re-load and to date I have lost only 4 out of 150 to split necks.
I was once told by Don Allen that A-Square (or whoever made brass for them) did some early runs of brass also |

Does this cover all Dakota brass, or is it just the Lapua brass Dakota/Nesika seem to have taken on proprietary rights for, and have contracted Lapua to deliver a bunch of brass (rumoured to arrive early in 2006)??? Examples include: PPC, Tactical 20, VarTarg etc. - mike

| The .300 Dakota brass a friend of mine bought about five years ago was not very uniform. It had off-center flash holes, and neck thicknesses varied from one case to the next. And it cost almost as much as .416 Rigby brass....
