Norma 6MM PPC Brass

[ehkempf]

I ordered some Norma Reloading Brass 6mm PPC from Midway. When I got the package it came in a small white box and the headstamp was 6 PPC USA. What is the difference between that brass and Norma 6 PPC not with the USA headstamp. Is it safe to assume that this brass from Midway is very old stock?

Thanks,

Ed

ED,
I don't think it is old. Until Norma came out recently with their brass the only other 6ppc brass was Sako, I believe Grafs had some[low quality] and I had some 6ppc usa from the 80s and don't know the manufacture.

My understanding is that the "New" Norma case did not have the USA on the headstamp. This brass that I received measures at least 1.503 in length, isn't that original Sako PPC USA dia., which should not fit a non USA chamber.

I though that the new Norma brass, other than neck turning, was basically the same a fireformed .220 russian

1.503 is about the right length. You mentioned diameter-what are the diameter measurements?

The Sako 6 P.P.C. brass was made by Norma I believe but the headstamp was Sako 6 P.P.C. U.S.A.

Respected Benchrest Shooter Lou Murdica tested the latest NORMA 6PPC USA brass -- new for 2010.
