Beretta buys RUAG, plans expansion of Savannah ammo plant.

[STORMINORMAN]

I have *no* idea, but my guess is that they use primers from all kinds of sources, and they may even produce their own. I *do* know that the primers in Ruag, Swiss P, Norma and RWS ammo have worked every time, in every gun for me. I don't have much experience with Rottweil and Geco, and as far as I remember zero experience with MFS, so I can't comment on those. Geco's reputation is so-so around here, but then again Geco ammo often proves to be among the very best among .357Mag ammo when it comes to precision in tests of a German gun magazine. I always think I should look into it when there's a new review of a revolver, but then I'm too lazy and continue to use the ammo I already know.

Any chance you might be able to check with any of your fellow Swiss regarding my inquaries vis-a-vis the primers used by the RUAG companies, BELOM & Prvi Partizan, please?

We don't often get a lot of info from the European ammo manufacturers...

Thanks!

Will keep it in mind and ask when an opportunity presents itself.

Just got a flyer from Cabela's for 50 22 LR for $5.99.

I will wait.

The Norma ammo brand is currently very active in the civilian market. I bought some Norma Tac-22 some time ago and didn't like the grease-like coating so I shelved it. Within the last year I took about 10 different 22 LR brands to the range to test through an S&W Victory 22 LR semi-auto. All the ammo shot decent groups but the Norma Tac-22 out-shot them all. I now don't mind the grease and use TAC 22 in all my semiautos.

I recently ordered 500 rounds Norma 9mm ammo.

just get some boresnakes or a patchworm and run a few wet passes while the barrel is still warm.

Does Beretta own NORMA? The bought ammunition plant in Savannah is now NORMA.

Speaking about Norma TAC-22 ammo, I also like it.

Back between ammo crunches I was able to buy 4 bricks of 500 rounds and did. I have shot 1 box and put the other 3 aside for when I need accuracy. My S&W M22A really like that ammo a lot. It also works well in my Ruger 10/22...

Member Mark8, in post #8, shows a partial list of brand names acquired by Beretta under the RUAG Ammotec purchase. NORMA is one of them.
