[QUOTE="trclements, post: 814808, member: 68914"] I have been reading this forum for a while and I have a question. So I just bought a Tikka T3 Stainless Hunter in 300 WSM. I reload so I wasn't worried about the cost of the ammunition. I got this to be used as an elk rifle to reach out to 500 yards or so. I have some Winchester Brass I am using and after 2 loads there is already a pressure ring showing at the base of the brass. I have heard that Nosler Brass is better and you should be able to get a lot more reloads per brass but it is more expensive. Here is what I don't understand. Nosler brass for the 300 WSM is $60 for a box of 25 or $2.40 per brass from MidwayUSA. Or they sell Nosler trophy grade ammunition loaded with 180 grain accubonds (which is the same I am handloading) for $51.00 a box of 20 or $2.55 per round. How is it possible that they only charge 15 cents more for the bullet, powder, and primer? It is basically cheaper to buy their ammunition and just shoot it as practice ammo than to get the empty brass. What brass do you suggest for a 300 wsm to maximize the amount of reloads per casing without breaking the bank? [/QUOTE]
