RWS brass for 9.3x74r

[Black Stim]

Anybody know if there is a source for 9.3x74r brass in Canada? Is it so much better than Norma brass to the point where I should go to the ends of the earth to look for it?

Thanks

I think Hornady makes it? Harold

RWS has North Sylvia as the dist in Cda. I got my 30R Blaser thru Wolverine. Took a while, wasn't cheap, either. But, he got it for me.

Hornady, Nosler, Norma, RWS. I got my last RWS stuff from Ralf Martini in BC (8x68). - dan

I gave up trying to find Canadian sources for the stuff and I order it from The Gun Factory in Zurich switzerland. They have the complete line of RWS/ RAUG. https://www.gunfactory.ch/index.htm good people to deal with

I never even thought to try Europe. I assume there are no issues having it shipped over? Darn Google translator doesn't work on their website!

How do use the site with no English?

pretty tough to wade through this without an English version.

I have an advantage I guess. Ich kann Deutsch auch verstehen.... They speak english, so you may call them. I realize phones raely get used for talking to people anymore, but they do work.

Wolverine Guns and Tackle in Red Deer had some Hornady 6 weeks ago...

Here's a new quandry. I have found a source for loaded RWS ammo, at $58 per box of 20. New Norma brass is $177 for 100 pieces.

Am I better off with 60 RWS brass or 100 Norma Brass for the same price (plus some benefit of shooting off the RWS stuff)?

Thanks

Using the RWS ammo will give you some comparable velocities to check against when you're hand loading, as well as giving you brass fire formed to your chamber. - dan

I think RWS brass is superior to Norma.

Old thread... but...

I have 6-8 relatively hot loadings on my Norma brass and it is still going strong... I have not tried RWS, but I am completely satisfied with Norma.

few years ago i always preferred Norma to Rws will it be for 9,3x62 or 7x64 ... i dont know the actual quality of RWS but in those days Norma was always above just my two cents.

Long, long time ago in the 80' previous century I build 9,3x64 mauser rifle and my RWS brass was so soft that I couldn't even reach factory velocities with it and no wonder, years later when I sold the rifle one of "Handloader" articles confirmed my suspicion.
IMHO PO should aim for Norma brass instead.
