Erik,

I think that the jackets are a bit soft, even though they are somewhat thick and are bonded to the core. I like Norma ammo as a whole and think it is about as well put together as any, anywhere.

I am of the opinion that they use softer metal alloys than I would like, both in their bullets and in their brass. Their brass tends to stretch much more readily than our US made brass.

I am curious as to whether I am off base, or have any of the rest of you guys experienced similar results?

I'll continue to use Norma ammo; it is so accurate!
