Nosler Brass - Great Stuff

[SJB358]

Guys, I just wanted to say to you all how happy I am with the Nosler brass. Currently I am using 264WM and 338WM brass. The 264WM has used the same 20 cases for 6 different loads. Some of them have been very stiff and a few were over max loads that were run during load workup and none have suffered losses till the 6th firing. I just culled about 9 of them after the last range session because the primer pockets were getting too loose to hold primers. NONE of them split a neck, or had any other problems. Also, these were all 2nds as well. I still have two bags of brand new 2nds when load work is done for the 264WM.

The 338WM is on the 3rd loading and seems like it will really last a long time, more so than the 264WM. Again, it is all 2nds. It does cost more than WW or RP brass, but in this case, you truly get what you pay for and it is excellent brass. Thick, malleable and just very consistent. I will slowly switch over to Nosler for the other calibers when I have a chance.

Nosler hit a home run with this stuff and if you have a chance to use it, 1st's or 2nds, I can't say you would be disappointed. Scotty

Just ordered some 7mm Remington Mag. and some 25-06 today Scotty. Really looking forward to getting started with it.

Noel, I think you will really like the stuff. If it is sized correctly, I bet you will get great life out of it. Scotty

I was leaning to their 338-06 when available but the cost for 25 rds ($60) just turns me off too much! Especially when I can buy 20 rds of Norma or Weatherby brass for $38. That is 5 less rds but it is also $23 cheaper. I guess I will have to stick with Norma and Weatherby for my 338-06

Just bought another bunch of 223 brass to add to the ones I bought prior.
Nosler brass has been good to me. My rifles have shot them well.

Yes, Nosler brass is very good. I am waiting to get some 338 RUM brass.

Scott, keep an eye out for 30-06 or 338-06 stuff being sold as 2nds. I really think the 2nds are a great purchase. About the same price as WW or RP but much higher quality. Scotty

I use Nosler brass in my 30-06 and have to say I love it so far. I'm on my third fireing, some on their 4th.

I use Nosler 30-06 brass and neck up. I know it doesn't have the correct headstamp, but it is pretty hard to not know what it is for unless you have a Whelen as well.

 

[FOTIS]

I am dying for them to make 378 Bee brass!

 

[gerry]

I like it too in my 264 WM, one day I hope to try the 260 and 35 Whelen too. Would like Nosler to introduce some 375 Ruger as well, the Hornady stuff is great but it is nice to have options that way I could use both the 260 and 300 gr Accubonds and know which one is which :grin:

 

[Tobey284]

I have to agree with the good stuff verdict. Bought three boxes of cosmetically blemished trophy grade ammo when i purchased my .308 (165 accubonds, shoot very well by the way) used the first box for barrel break in and have reloaded it 4 times. Will probably start recycling after the next range session if necessary, haven't cracked the other two boxes yet. bought a box of .308 nosler brass at sportsman's warehouse the other day but at this rate it may be spring before I take the plastic off of it. I'll definately be looking into nosler brass for some of my other cartridges once I get through the WW and Rem stuff I have on hand.

Good to hear about the 264 brass, this is helping me decide which to get.

Since Nos brass has come out, I have seen opinions all over the board.
