I fished a handful of brass out of the snow yesterday,
as mentioned above quite clean, as was the gun.

Thank you for the reminder. I ordered some from them at the end of the year. I swore I was going to just keep ordering on a regular schedule so that once prices fluctuated I would be good. I just went and they are out of stock but Im sure Ill get an email soon.
The powder would be a batch or lot that Norma bought in a large quantity--maybe a ton. After purchase they ran pressure tests to determine a charge giving desired velocity. When this lot has been used, the cycle starts over. The next batch may require a different charge weight to deliver specified velocity. This batch might be a different brand with a burning rate faster or slower than the first lot.
Those of you shooting this Norma, does it say on the box or case where the ammo came from? RUAG sources from all over Europe and brands it whatever they see fit. I have a suspicion where it came from, which could also be verified by a magnet sticking to the bullet.
The bullets in all the Norma ammunition I have shot in the past two years has been totally nonmagnetic. Approaching 12k rounds, mostly in matches and classes.
Super clean and consistent. Hope it stays that way, after the purchase of the company by Beretta last month.
Thanks fatdog…….that isn’t the answer I expected. I thought it would be from Thun, Switzerland as it is the crown jewel in the RUAG empire. These Norma rounds used to be branded Geco. The 115’s were all from Hungary, as well as some of the 124’s, with the remaining 124’s from Switzerland. True Norma production is from Sweden, of course, and the German stuff is RWS.
I am sure Beretta will make some changes as they always like to make the top brand in a company aspirational. Sako for example, is just about unaffordable. But on the flipside, Tikka is affordable and much more available after the Beretta purchase. I can’t really complain about the purchase of Steiner and Burris Optics. Although there is a certain irony that Burris, a formerly American company, makes their stuff in Philippines, and German Steiner makes their stuff in USA.
Where we getting this and what are we paying for it? I'm about to need some more 9mm.
