Agree 100%
Wonder what they require for a min. order?

Don't know, you could call Kathi and ask her.

Better yet, small rifle or pistol primers.
Norma used to offer small rifle primers for the .308 match

Pistol primers, work poorly in the 110.
That is coming from someone that has put over 30,000 rounds down range in 3 different rifle, that is not arm chair speculation.
This was a subject Dan-Jimbo-myself spent a good bit of time discussing this.
BTW Norma Brass is the best bar none, when it comes to this cartridge.

lapua makes small primer pocket 308 brass for palma shooting.
also the 6.5 x 47 lapua uses small primers.
are they better?
history will tell.
keep safe,

Kenny,
have you tried Russian large rifle primers in the 2 7/8?
they seem to be pretty consistent with bpcr.
they are a bit bigger than American primers, so can extend case life if pockets are getting loose.
keep safe,
bruce.

Bruce,
I have not! I will keep that in mind, the Fed 210 and the old white Box WLR primers have been the best accuracy wise, in my old 110's.

I've no experience with Captech/Jamison brass in the .45/110, but I was most impressed with their .44/77 brass.
I've used Norma brass exclusively in my .45/110 bull-barrel Shiloh rifle, and have had no real trouble with it at all. It seems to be excellent brass. I bought the 2.9-inch cases and trimmed them all before firing to 2.875-inch. I did the trimming with an RCBS trim die, followed by a case trimmer. If you don't have a real trim die (and its necessity is highly questionable), I'll second the writer who said that the brass must be sized before it will chamber, at least in a Shiloh chamber. (The trim die is also a full-length sizing die.) After an initial firing, I noticed that quite a few cases required a second trimming. Better than being too short.
I also noticed that the primer pockets in the Norma brass seemed to be slightly shallow. My routine with any new brass includes the use of a primer pocket uniformer. To my surprise, quite a bit of brass shavings fell out of most of the Norma cases. After their first firing, I used the primer pocket uniformer again out of curiosity, and a few brass shavings fell out of many of the cases. I don't think I've ever had that happen before; i.e., using the primer pocket uniformer twice with any result.
With a third firing of the 100-round lot, no significant case trimming was necessary and the primer pocket uniformer took no more brass out of the pockets. Everything had stabilized.
Just a couple of quirks. I'd recommend Norma brass to anyone.

Don-Could the primer pockets been for pistol primers and not rifle?

Just back from the range and reloading my Norma brass, primer pockets are in spec.Well pleased with brass,although my shooting skills need a little work.I need more time behind my new Shiloh rifle.Thanks,Bob.
