    Default Norma powders?

    Wondering if anyone has experimented with Norma powders?
    Some time ago I picked up a bunch of it. 201, 202, 203B and 204. So I have this 25lb supply on hand and am seriously considering using some of it in .308 and 30-06 loads.

    Manuals are not a problem, I have the most recent and Norma powders appear in the Berger 1st edition which is my go to. Just wondering if anyone else was using it.

    Excellent powders, US sales have been slow l. It was picked up by Western Ramshot, who sold out to Hodgedon about a year ago. It?s available even though I don?t know who?s distributing it. I plan on moving a few things over to it.

    I picked up my supply of Norma from Powder Valley last Spring when there was very little of anything available.

    Loading a couple hundred Berger 115 gr fb over 45 gn of N201 in RA 68 cases set off with 210M primers. This is part of my " test batch " of RA 68 cases I have been loading for a couple of years now. Over 10 loadings for the M14 and not a single neck crack, primer cup stretching or case separation. Undoubtedly, in my opinion, the best brass ever made for USGI 308 cases. Just sorry that for decades I trashed thousands after 4 loadings.
