Nosler PREMIUM brass

[ddman]

I love it when people start talking about weighing cases, as if it has some magical effect on case volume.
Then like clockwork one of the Lapu-tisms will step in and start claiming things they can't pronounce.

To the OP:
Nosler has never been able to make their own brass, until they purchased Silver State. The entire case industry is extremely incestuous, and whenever someone stops feeding the handloading sector because of a government contract. They pay everyone else to build their products for them. That's why the "scandal" of Hornady's discontinued list, only scandalized the Crayon-eating true believers; the rest of us are adults and know how the sausage gets made.

If the primer punch holes bother you, then get rid of them. But the fact of the matter is, it's not remotely as important as you think it is.

Most of these will be one time use. I had just never seen any brass that bad before.

Used Nosler brass a few years ago in my 257 Weatherby. Never again. As posted by others expensive and , in my case , low quality.

Just wait around a bit; everyone has their turn on the wheel of Durp.

Before you throw them away, remember that brass lives matter.

Don't get me wrong, I never had any issues getting them to shoot very accurate loads. Just prep time and cost. They were much better five or six years ago.

Nosler brass is expensive and soft. ADG brass has been cheaper than Nosler for my. I've never seen issues like this with Nosler brass. I'm not sure how they are now but I'd be willing to believe that they would replace it if bought from a retailer. All of the Nosler brass that I have has always come perfect and ready to load. This is brass for my 325 WSM. I know I've compared the prices for my 28 Nosler as well, ADG is ~$125 for 50 and Nosler is $100 for 25 pieces. I'd rather lose ADG than lose Nosler brass.
