Re: how much better is the nosler 300 RUM bass over remington

I just bought some and have been experimenting with them. I have not yet formed an opinion on the quality of the brass itself, but I have been very impressed with the fact that all the cases are with in a few tenths of a grain from eachother. Not grains, but tenths of a grain! That is important to me. Also, the flash holes have been de-burred and the necks have been reamed. This all saves time for me as well. All I have to do is turn the necks, uniform the primer pocket, prime and load.

Its the concistent weight that makes the worth the extra $$ to me.

Have you tried to check the volume of the cases?(inside)I have found this to be more important than consistent weight of cases. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

9 times out of 10 when using brass of the same lot, weight and volume go hand in hand [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Its the lower ES that I get when using this brass has that has my undivided attention.
