Norma Powder...
I never see it listed in my reloading manuals. From where they sit on the burn rate list, with the exception of R1 they appear to be slower burning and more suited to rifle loads than pistol. Anyone here ever used it?

Not me. Not that I think there is anything wrong with it.

Yes, I have a variety of Norma powders. My experience thus far is with 200 and 201 in 45/70, and it performs well.

I don't think Norma powders ever enjoyed a lot of popularity on this side of the pond. IF they ever did it was probably over 20-30 years ago.
R1 was the fastest and MRP[magnum rifle powder] was the slowest offerings.
I 'think' Midway use to carry it but nothing recently for sure.

In the 1980's-90's my best friend and I used lots of MRP in 264 Win Mag, 458 Win Mag, 375 H&H and 300 Win Mag.

Back in the 60's and 70's there was a good amout of marketing for this powder and the company's brass.
Never used the powder but the brass for my 22-250, 270 & 30-06 was the BEST over all other brands.
It was not uncommon for me to get 20 or more "Full Loads" out of my 22-250, with this brass case vs the Rem/Win cases at 12-14 ?

Yes their brass is very good. I have some Norma 6.5 Creedmoor brass that I would put right up there with Lapua in terms of solid, sturdy, consistent brass.

Weatherby?
I believe that, in the past, Norma made all of the Weatherby brass.
