Review of new vendor

NC/SC - New Primed 308 Win brass. Made by norma in Sweden $49.95 / 100ct (Free shipping over $150)

This is our most popular seller and it's almost gone. This brass is norma brass, made by norma in Sweden, but has an MAI headstamp (for an unfulfilled contract). We sell the unprimed norma 308 Win for even more. About 4000 or so left and then it's gone for good...

I just bought some of the above from our new sponsor/vendor. I checked reviews on SnipersHide first and they seemed agreeable so I went for it. After hitting the buy button I got an immediate confirmation email. A little while later I had a tracking number. Less than two days later I have the primed brass. It appears to be exactly what the ad says it is. A cursory inspection says it's new perfect Norma brass and the primers resemble the ones I see in Norma loaded in Germany. I haven't loaded it yet, but it's looking good. I'll give this guy a thumbs up for future business. Buy with confidence.

Reviving this thread. I've used the primed Norma since I started this. It's great, no issues. That deal is long gone, but I was looking for 7.5 x55 brass and found the same vendor is selling Norma brass cheaper than PPU if you get 250 pcs. He's also selling Swiss P ,308 168 grain HPBT bullets for less than I can find Hornady HPBT or Sierra Match King HPBT. Free shipping on this as well once you exceed $150 in the cart.
It makes me happy to shop with a forum vendor as well. Check out their stuff @RavenRocksPrecision

Price is great, wonder how the bullets do accuracy wise.

I’d like to test some but 250ct is a big bag if I end up not having the great success

I had the same thought. I did some poking around online and found reviews of their loaded ammo using this projectile. The one below was from Sniper Central.

Thanks for the kind words. We actually get these in ammo cans of 1900 bullets each.

Also, thanks for the input -- we might add a smaller quantity for folks that are on the fence about them. So far the feedback has been very positive.

These bullets showed up today. I compared them to a .308 Amax and there's a difference in shape. The Amax has a shoulder and the Swiss P doesn't. I've got a sneaky suspension that this may work very well in the K31 I bought these to load for.

The Norma brass is so shiny and new. Looks so much better than my Prvi brass.

It needs to warm up so I can get back to load development. I've got both .308 and 7.5x55 I loaded last November that's just waiting for a nice day to go get chronograph numbers and groups shot.

Then there's the new rifle I ordered coming in next week. That's going to need a load made as well. The good weather better come soon.

Thanks, hope you enjoy! That norma brass at that price is maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity.

No kidding. I'd been holding off buying brass because the expense made buying loaded Prvi cheaper than reloading. The sale tipped the balance for sure. I'll point out that SGAmmo is the only place online with 7.5x55 Swiss anymore. That seems like an opportunity, but it's certainly not something that's flying off the shelves either.

We are going to be stocking some 7.5x55 Swiss pretty soon. A couple different calibers. We're continuing to expand. We appreciate the support from you guys. That all being said, nothing will beat the current price we have on that Norma brass if you buy in bulk.

Ok- I'm taking a chance and did a big order instead of a small! 750 (just to get free shipping, I'm a sucker) of the Styx HPBT which sound awesome. I'm hoping to use it for an accuracy load.

 

[RavenRocksPrecision]

Thanks for the order! Let us know how they shoot!

 

[Sasquatch]

They shoot great! First OCW load had #4 (which happens a lot) to be the best at <0.4 MOA. Now I'm going to refine the charge as Gordon's OCW tool has a node close to where the ladder was, and a node higher and lower.

Glad to hear it. I was confident you'd like them. Please let others know if you can. We are trying to grow and as important as search engine optimization and push advertising is, nothing means more than the recommendation of a happy customer.
