is nosler brass acceptable for target work? thanks dave

acceptable ... yes.
necessary .... no.
Nosler makes some good brass. But it is not necessary to spend the bankroll to shoot targets.
A little sorting and prep work will produce some acceptable brass from just about any maker.

My two cents

muck

form me it is worth the cost since i no longer have to buy bullets, powder, and primers to fireform .280Imp cases. however, that's the only nosler brass i use as i tend to agree with muck on this

Even the Nosler seconds that I have used were a step ahead of typical Remchester commercial brass. Yes, the Rem and WW can be made to do just fine, but with Nosler & Lapua, I find myself culling virtually no cases as they are extremely consistent across the board.

Of course, most of the calibers I shoot are wildcats for which there is no factory brass, so I still have to do things the old-fashioned way...

I tried it once in my.300 RUM. On the 2nd loading I found the Primer Pockets were oversize. I called Nosler and they finally did admit to haveing problems. Said they would call me back. That was 6 months ago. Still waiting on the call?

I use Nolser and Lapua for both my 223Rems for taget work - Both brands work for me.

If you're doing competitive benchrest shooting with a custom chamber, barrel, etc., Lapua is the way to go for match brass.

But if you're just pretty much shooting from a benchrest with a factory rifle you may not appreciate the consistency of the Lapua brass.

I get the impression from reading the threads in this section that mostly it's about shooting off a bench as contrasted to formal "benchrest" competition.
