Great brass! Already preped,sorted by weight,sized, chamfered,primer holes debured just insert powder and seat bullet and enjoy. Long lasting by the way. Not a bad deal in truth.


Political correctness offends me.

Another thumbs up here. Kinda pricey compared to Remington or Winchester, but you are definitely getting what you pay for.

I have heard mixed reports from local shooters at our range.

"Bob", one of them, ordered a hundred rounds from Nosler and found it very nearly as perfect as any sorted batch of commercial brass could be, he said. So, he ordered 300 more. When received, he says the second batch was about the same as any "bulk" batch of Remchester...bad enough he called Nosler and complained as only Bob can...loud, long, and immoderately.

A few others CLAIM similar experience.

Having not tried it myself, I am only reporting what I have heard. I would suggest making a couple of small orders several weeks apart, then inspecting them. Then one can make their own somewhat informed decision(s).

I use it in a couple of calibers. So far in 280AI and 30-06. Will use it in others when available. It is very convenient to just load it and shoot it without any prep right out of the box.

It is very consistant. I have 25 new cases left in 280AI and they weigh:

3 @ 188.6
9 @ 188.7
6 @ 188.8
3 @ 188.9
1 @ 189.0
2 @ 189.1
1 @ 189.2

that's a lot better than any other new brass that I've run across (I have yet to use Lapua).

I have to turn necks for the 280AI and the neck thickness is very uniform. Primer holes drilled and chamfered. What's not to like?

I do not recall but do not think all calibers have Nosler headstamp. Seems like for instance the 338-06 had Weatherby A-Square. I could be wrong as I have bought a lot of brass lately.

Nosler doesn't list 338-06 A-Square brass, just ammo.

Yeppers, short term memory loss is a witch! I did buy the Custom ammo and it was headstamped w/Weatherby A-Square not Nosler. Well I was close.
