Who is making brass for Nolser?

I stopped at Nosler last week and asked them.
All they would say is an independent manufacturer. The get the brass and then prep it. They say it is a bit thicker than normal brass but not enough to affect loading.

Was fortunate enough to pickup 5 pieces of .308 Win at the SHOT show. Weighed it today and found it to be very consistant for this small sample. 173.1 to 173.9 grains. there were 2 at 173.4 and 1 at 173.3, yes that makes the odd man 173.9... The primer pockets are good, but the flash hole needed deburring. Loaded these for my VSSF, a load which normally shoots to .35 MOA or better for 5 rounds. The finished loaded round neck diameter was .3385, and very uniform. Will be shooting them next week. To the eye, Lapua still looks better to me.

308Sako,

The samples I looked at at Nosler had the flash hole cleaned up by a 120 degree reamer and were very clear. They did say they did some experimenting before deciding on the 120 degree reaming.

I just bought two boxes (100 cases) of Nosler .22-250 brass from Graf & Sons. The boxes were factory sealed. 99 of them had the Nosler headstamp but one was stamped "FC" suggesting that Federal supplies the brass to Nosler. Has anyone else see this?
