Sorry to have been so long in seeing your post. We have had the fun of moving; I am also on regular dial-up service again(it is an exercise in frustation).

I have had good luck with Norma in the 9.3x74r. I purchased my brass new about seven months ago. I have gotten up to 10 firings with no problems yet.

I had a request to measure the volume of water that these newer cases would hold. I do not remember what the amount was but it was less (indicating thicker brass) than in the older Normal brass. That weight was related by the gentleman that had requested the amount of water for the new cases; he had some of the older brass on hand.

Early on I became worried that I would get few firings from the Norma and purchased a couple of boxes of RWS from Huntington's but have not had occasion to use them yet.

My 9.3 is a Chapuis.
