Horneber or RWS cases
I did a search here and hear good things about both, so, which would be better? Huntingtons sells both for the same price.
I am ordering 9.3x64s, I have some but want more.
Thanks

I have used and use both and believe the RWS to be far superior, and cheaper.

In fact, I believe the RWS brass to be one the best. It is strong and ductile, resizing easily.

There is nothing wrong with Horneber's, but I find it more brittle than the other.

.366, I don't have any experience w/ the caliber you mentioned, but my only experience w/ RWS brass (in 5.6X50R Mag) has been very good. Big Grin Seems to be high quality brass. I'm not familiar w/ the other brass you mentioned, unless it's actually Hirtenberger. I also have experience w/ it, albeit in only one caliber (the aforementioned 5.6X50R). Based on my limited experience w/ the Hirtenberger, I DO NOT recommend it. EekerIn fact, that's why I'm now using the RWS. WinkFor a better price on RWS, you might try Natches Shooters' Supply.

Good luck and good hunting.

RWS brass is arguably the finest brass available. I'd use it in a heartbeat, and do in my 6.5x57...

I agree, RWS is better...

In Germany, RWS cases are the best (and expensive) choice.
I use them in nearly all claibers out of the .22.250.
But I think quality of Norma cases will be equal.

Yes Norma is gernally good brass too, however I don't think Norma makes 9.3x64 cases.

366 The RWS cases are the best. I have also made cases from 458 win brass that are quite good but a lot of work.I used Win brand brass and it ends up with the same capacity as the RWS brass.

Sorry, you`r right.
There are no Norma cases in 9,3x64.
