In terms of superb quality, Norma is really up there.  For one thing or two, they CNC machine their primer pockets, and they drill the flash-holes instead of punching them out, unlike many other mass production facilities.  Being they "do it better", they will be asking a higher price. :(  

But either way, I believe that whatever you decide will turn out great; it has been said the "one always behind the gun" is  who knows what would be better for his shootin' iron.  Reloading is one of the reasons and ways to find out what your gun will like the best.  Be sure to try other brands as well.  Good luck with your reloading efforts, God bless, and straight shooting.
