I have never used either Nosler or Norma 6.5 Grendel brass but have read both of are of good quality but expensive. For the price Id probably buy Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass before Nosler or Norma. Nosler and Norma both came onto the market with 6.5 Grendel brass at about the same time and might be why some people speculated it was manufactured at the same location. I was unsure so why I had Nosler/Norma, even better if both companies are individually producing 6.5 Grendel brass. More sources for quality brass is better for the consumer.
When Nosler first started selling Nosler brand loaded ammunition they purchased their brass from Norma. I have a bunch of the early brass in 223 Remington and 243 Winchester and it is excellent. However, when Nosler purchased SSA they brought all brass manufacturing in house. As far as I know Nosler has always made their 6.5G brass themselves in the new plant that went online around three years ago.
