416 Rigby Norma Brass Rim Difference

[Jon R15]

I am starting to reload some 416 Rigby ammo for my Dakota 76 and noticed a difference in the Norma brass that I bought new in 2003. Some of the rims are beveled and some are not. Is one better then the other? I have some new Norma brass and some factory loaded Federal Premium and they are all beveled.

I bought some Jamison 416 Rigby brass some years ago that weren't beveled. If you dropped a round into the chamber you couldn't close the bolt. The extractor would not slip over the rim. Sent them back and they beveled them and they worked fine.
