Does anyone have experience with RWS brass? I found a place that has some in stock but have no working knowledge of it. How does it compare to Lapua, Norma, or Hornady? I am under the impression that its high end, but want to make sure. | ||

good stuff, definitely on the high end, but expensive & sometimes hard to find | |||

I have used RWS in 8X57R, and 9.3X74R. I like their brass. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Top brass and comparison to Lapua, but it has probably the thickest walls and thereby the internal volume of the case is lower - therefore you have to do seperate load development with RWS brass. | |||

+1 I use RWS exclusively for the Hornet, excellent brass but noticeably Less volume. -------- There are those who only reload so they can shoot, and then there are those who only shoot so they can reload. I belong to the first group. Dom --------- | |||

Thanks for the input, I'm on the fence now. I like quality brass, but the smaller internal volume means I have to start over with load development. I just posted in small calibers (mistake) about Hornady brass in my 257 Weatherby being 5 full grains less than Norma. A start load put me into high pressure right off the bat. All my other calibers that I use Hornady brass in, have not had this issue, just the 257 Roy. | |||

RWS brass is very good quality. We use a lot of it here at AR. | |||

I use in in 9.3 x 64, 9.3 x 74 and 404J. Have always found it excellent. Might pay a bit more but save heaps of time because no need to stuff around with it. It also lasts ages if reloaded properly. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

Fine brass that. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

SSA brass is good stuff too; I like it as much as Lapua; but me thinks SSA is using all their production for their own ammo right now. They haven't had any in for 5 months and told me call back in a year or so. Where do you buy that RWS brass? Cabelas is supposed to have 308 Lapua pretty quick, $79/100 ouch. | |||

If you can get around ok in German, egun.de often has quite a bit listed, would just have to work with the seller on shipping but shouldn't be too difficult. For instance, here's 500 30-06 once fired RWS brass for about $110- at the buy now button, and he states for shipping to other EU countries add another $25-. For other countries one must email him and ask what he would charge. If EU that works out to just over a quarter a case, not bad for good brass.
