[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1770889, member: 9281"] One thing I’m not hearing anyone mention is the softness of Nosler brass. It runs softer in the primer pocket/case head area than other brands as a general rule. I got a horrible batch that I’ve been dealing with in my 30 Nosler. It’s so soft that I had to develop a load 100fps slower than normal psi just so I can extract my brass, even then it’s sticky. Leaves swipes on the case head and requires more trimming than normal after bumping shoulder .002”. A fired case shoulder will measure .003-.005” longer than the chamber shoulder. Neck tension and bullet seating are inconsistent in spite of annealing every 3 firings. No it is NOT an over pressure load or tight barrel, primer pockets are as tight as new after 5-6 firings. As soon as I can throw a little cash at it, I’m gonna buy a batch of ADG. [/QUOTE]
