Hey there team,
Am about to purchase 100x .300WM brass to go into the Tikka T3 lite shooting long range. I will be passing the brass over to be reloaded by another party as I have no equipment to reload, What I was wondering was a recommendation on which brass to purchase.
Thanks in advance
Just got my T3 300WM built and currently looking at brass too.. Norma seems to be the go but at $120/50 I'm looking into alternatives.. :)
Norma. Expensive but you wont need a lot of case sorting etc.
I have brand new Norma 300 Win Mag brass here
$100 per 50x
The secret for longer life in magnum belted brass, is when it is brand new, never fired, to expend the neck to the next caliber up (8 mm for 30) and then neck size down back to original caliber till the bolt of your gun just close on your neck. Do your first fireforming with a normal load. And on the consecutive reloads just neck size your brass. Only full length size it when bolt become stiff but just enough so you just bump the shoulder back.
If you are not pushing the pressure to high, you should get 10 reloads out of your cases.

The " best" .300WM brass is probably RWS, very coveted by the LR shooters, expensive too. . Lapua did make 300WM until a few years ago. also good. Norma is not bad. I use a fair bit on Winchester, also pretty adequate for most general uses.
I got 7 firings on Federal before it went hard, FL size each load and no annealing.
As long as you sort your brass, cheap brass can work well.

I had heard that Lapua 300 win brass was made by Norma anyway.Quote:

Have I said too much?
YES ,
And its real pretty too , should have brought more , only got 2 boxes & then they discontinued it , I would look at Norma , RWS is meant to be great , just hard to get here .
Cheers Chris
cheers guys spent the money and went with 7mm's Norma brass.
Shot roos last year with a guy using one with hornady brass he reckoned it was good, went thru 50plus in two days to my 180 223 mind you he did shoot them further away.
