[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1541988, member: 94491"] Nosler has been made by norma for years-- but they were supposed to weight sort, prep and polish it more than norma did (hence the "premium pricing") but in 2013 Nosler bought out Silver State Armory and they started using SSA's machines to make brass for the "SSA" line of cartridges--at first it was really bad, I mean really really bad (at least in the 6.8spc brass)-- they improved upon the SSA brass some what a few years ago--BUT as far as I know Nosler still only makes the "SSA by Nosler" brass NOT the regualr Nosler brass on the SSA machines -- the "SSA by Nosler" only makes and sells 5.56 nato, 6.8spc, 300 aac, 308W, 30-06, and 7.62x39 If you are not opposed to 1x fired brass from premium rifles, then you can jump over to gunwerks website and buy once fired 7rm norma brass for 55c each in any quantity--it takes a while for them to ship (last time I did this it took 2-3 weeks to get the brass) but I got a killer deal last time (35c each) -- not sure why, but their price on 1x fired brass fluctuates quite a bit -- If you like Hornady 7rm brass they have overstock new brass for $40/100 also [/QUOTE]
