Re: 9.3x74R Brass - Any Suggestions?

CptCurl:

I use 9.3X74R brass, but in a .400/.360 NE double (run the 9.3 case through a standard .400/.360 FL sizing die and trim from 2.93" to 2.745"). In the beginning, I used Norma brass. After the second firing, I would get bright rings on a few, which were discarded. The rest I would load a third time. I recall getting complete head separations with one or two of these. I never loaded any a fourth time. Several here have posted in the past of similar experience with it in 9.3 rifles.

After a couple batches of the Norma, I tried RWS and still use it. I've retired several batches of it after a dozen rounds or so and they still looked fine. I've never had one fail in any way.

Huntington's picked up the RWS line in the US after OWS dropped it. A box of 20 was around $27 last time I checked .
