Nosler PREMIUM brass

[dakewlndn]

Ran some Nosler in my AR10. Loose primer pockets by the 3rd firing and had to discard after that.
Haven't bought them again since.
Loads werent even hot/max.

Everything Nosler is expensive and overpriced. Look how much a box of bullets is. Example; 7mm 175gr ABLR $113, 175gr ELD-X ~$40, 180gr Berger $64. Brass is worse, $115 for a box of 25 28 Nosler, ADG, Peterson, around $125-$150 for a box of 50. A box of Accubonds is north of $50 most cases, and those are 50 bullet boxes. This is why I stopped buying anything Nosler. The ABLRs used to be $50/box of 100, that was reasonable, and on par with other brands. I won't buy any of their stuff anymore. It makes me happy that I shoot Berger and Hornady bullets using ADG brass from my 28 Nosler.

Nosler ablr come in box of 100 i pretty sure. 168ablr were over $100a couple years ago but i just saw them at Cabela's for $69. 100ct boxes. Agree their brass is quite expensive.

Yeah. ABLRs do come in a box of 100, so do ELD-X/Ms and Bergers. I know when the ABLR first came out I was getting 150gr 7mm for $49.99/box. On the Nosler website they are over $100. Regular Accubonds are only boxes of 50.

Junk, when you get the replacement brass sell it.

Well they sent me 20 new much better looking pieces of brass after I emailed them and sent photos of the crap I had bought. I appreciate them sending me some extra but needless to say I won't be buying nosler brass anymore. I did find a place where I can order Peterson brass in bulk so I'll probably go that way direction.

I have found that Nosler brass is very soft. I worked up loads in a 7mm-08 with Nosler, it showed pressure 2.5 grains below what showed in Winchester brass. I bought it originally to have different head stamped brass for two different rifles. Nosler was all i could get at the time. Not again! Some may laugh, but I love good, old, Winchester brass!

This is going to be one shot brass for a thermal gun now . I'll work up a load and not worry about loosing brass in the field at night. Once I run through the 200 rounds of nosler I have I'll switch to the Peterson I just ordered. I have adg also but use it in another rifle so I'm trying to use different brands for the different rifles

Send an email to Nosler. They will probably send you some replacement pieces of brass. I have had some issues with their brass before, and they USUALLY made it right.

I purchased some Nosler brass back years ago when they first started selling brass with their own headstamp. I'm just getting around to using it now. From that era, I found that it is pretty decent brass with one exception. The overall length of the brass is slightly short but it does eventually stretch to where it can be trimmed. I have some brass that I was using this summer that I probably put 12 rounds through and I'm still using it.

In the future, I don't see myself using Nosler. I see too many people having issues with it. To me it appears that Nosler is using a different source to manufacture their brass. At the time I made my purchase, I think it was being manufactured by Norma. I think I would just as soon purchase Norma brass from the get go anymore.

I did just purchase some Lapua brass a few weeks ago. Never purchased their brass before. I haven't really measured anything spec wise but it appears to be real good brass but wow, it sure is expensive. I'm trying to decide if I should uniform the primer pockets on this stuff. If I do, will I be upgrading the brass or will I be making it less perfect? The primer pockets already appear to be consistent and well formed and squared on the bottom.

In my neck of the woods Laupa is appx 50% less than Nosler Brass.
