Ok fellas, looks like i'm buying more of that brass.

I've bought some from Higginson in 30-06 about 10 years ago, stamped Browning and was told it was Norma.
I have loaded them about 5 times and no issues at all, would buy again with no concerns.

According to Norma catalogues (I have 4 going back to the early 1980's Normas has always made Browning's brass. The stuff Higginson has is NOS. Wished they still had the Norma bullets they also used to sell.

I have had no problems with the primers yet, but I don't think I would use those primers for a hunt.

30-06 cases:

	DRY Wgt.	WET Wgt.	Water capacity
METALLVERKEN	208.4	275.0	66.6
BROWNING	204.4	271.7	67.3
R-P	202.3	270.3	68.0
norma	182.9	253.3	70.4
PRVI	182.6	253.4	70.8

My measurements included a fired primer, so that I could fill them with water.
