My guess is Norma but figured I’d ask. I have an opportunity to make an offer on an early 1950s Model 70 in 300 Holland & Holland and have an irrational desire to get it and load for it.

I’ve got a lot of old Winchester brass that is great but Norma is the most prevalent now so just buy more of it so you don’t run out.
Norma is good as it gets. They make Nosler brass so same just cheaper. Stay away from Hornady ammo or brass as it shows signs of separation on first firing or at least the batch I had did. Shot in a Ruger No 1 and 1957 Model 70

The best brass is the brass you can actually get when you need it.
When I was looking/buying last year Nosler was all that I could find.

I only get three shots out of Hornady brass then get case head separations.

Thank you! Had to haggle and didn’t get a great deal but the rifle should be on its way in a day or two. I’ll order brass from there! Next I need to pick a bullet. Might just work up 168 grain Sierra Match King since I have tons of those. Looks like H4831sc, H4350, or N550 should work OK.

Those who have head separation- are you sizing the brass so that the shoulder causes resistance on chambering?
