Norma was making 9mm Lugar (and other 9mm loadings) before Richard Lee was born, and making them to George Lugar's specifications, not Winchester or Remington's.
I load for 117 cartridges and have bought New and Used dies from every brand that massed produced and a few gun smith mad dies (My pride and Joy is a set of 219 Donaldson Wasp dies that Harvey's back-up set!) I have another 120 die sets, beside Lee, for their different applications in a number of different rifles.Īll that being said, Lee dies are your problem, not the Norma brass (If you want to even call it a problem!) Lee is in the business of making affordable dies, that work on the majority of American ammunition. They have all performed well, but only within their designed performance (and THAT is all you can ask for!). I have 2 presses, about 18 or 20 sets of their dies and around 15 Lee Loaders. Wonder if they use a magnum primer as the flash hole is smaller than other manufacturers?Īctually I really like Lee loading equipment. Reinstalled both pins in their original punch by hammering them in, segregated the Norma brass to the round file and finished decapping the other brands with no issues.īe careful of Normal brass, expect that the pocket being that small, they would pull pins out of RCBS or any other dies that uses a replaceable pin held in by a collet. Could not pull pin out with needle nose pliers, had to punch them out of the brass. Found the pictured 2 Normas with the pins stuck solid in the flash hole. The flash hole in these cases is the smallest diameter I have ever seen. After maybe 40 to 50 cases, noticed its not pushing primers out either.Ĭhecked and I have about 100 Norma brass range pickups. Did not have spare, but have several other Lee dies, so just moved a 38 super punch over.
Have done thousands of 9mm through this carbide die, so figured, fatigue of metal and it finally broke. Checked my deprime punch and pin is missing. Noticed after a couple of hundred that the primers were not being knocked out.
