I fired 8 shots over my chrony today. 106gr IMR4831 under Woodleigh soft. 2168-2206fps. This is the same ballpark as with Norma brass. About 50fps faster than Hornady or Federal factory loads. I havn't shot for regulation yet, but since velocities are about the same as with Norma brass, I don't expect any problem. | ||

So do both brands have the same water volume? ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Will- I haven't checked water volume, but the Hornady case weighs 20 grains more than the Norma. Kind of a surprise to me, as in 416 Rigby, the Norma is heavier than the Hornady by 17 grains. The same loads also produced the same velocity in the 416. I think the huge case volumes of these cartridges has something to do with the big "fudge factor." | |||

OK, enough being lazy. The Hornady held 148gr H2O and the Norma 150. Pretty close. | |||

Can't see that you could see any difference at the range. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Exactly. It seems the only differance is the price, and, with any luck, case life. | |||

I can't see any brand of .470NE brass having a shorter case life than Norma. My Norma's had a big stretch ring just above the rim, on the first firing. I still have 300 new ones, but won't buy any more. ND Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||
