I believe the Norma rimfire stuff is actually made by RWS in Germany. And they make really excellent .22 lr ammo.

RWS ammo is also sold under their «economy brand», named Geco. At least, here in Europe.
I found that «Geco rifle» shot really well in my CZ 455, and have stocked up.

I own a swaging die for HP/FN. My experience is, accuracy and POI has remained the same. But it makes sense that the swaging could improve accuracy under certain conditions. And being able to meet all needs with one kind of ammo is helpful.

Back in times of plenty, Geco was being closed out and a case could be had for 200 bucks. The snivelers on Rimfire Central complained that loading the magazines on their 10-22's made their fingers all greasy. "Whaaaaa!" I kept a piece of paper towel in my loading bag and wiped my fingers, big deal. I'd read it was the same as TAC, shot it against some TAC and saw no difference.

The Snakester's post yesterday was a nice piece of news in an otherwise bleak economic picture. I figure some .22's in the hand beats some shrinking dollars in the ether. Besides, Dynamit Nobel just has a ring to it.
