getting ready to load up some test loads for 22 ppc, my question is
do I use the new norma brass or do I use original 220 sako brass and fire form Im leaning toward the 220 (thicker,more reloads,just seems stronger) it is unfired also. but it is pretty old or does that matter? I would not think so.I
tumbled it for about 2 hrs its nice and brite no corrosion at all.seems like they
made brass better back years ago than they do now.

Personally, I would use the Norma brass. It is already the right size and shape, it probably will not need to be neck turned, and Norma makes very nice brass.
