Morning all.
Does anyone find that the Norma brass is soft?
I ask as I have been collecting brass from fired factory rounds in anticipation of beginning reloading. I was cleaning some up last night, and I have found that all of the cases from my 40gr Norma rounds have a ridge around the body just above the case head - I would presume at the start of the web. It is not a bulge, just a ridge that can be seen and felt with a fingernail.
It is bizarre as I have brass from some Remington and Hornady rounds that don't have this ridge at all. I also notice that the primers are more flattened on these fired Norma rounds compared to the Rems and Hornady rounds I have fired?
I'm trying to figure out if the brass is safe to use again or whether to bin them? Full length resizing does get rid of the ridge if this helps.
Advice please chaps!!
Thanks in advance
