[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1569523, member: 33915"] As to a comparison of the brass weight. I did weigh a few already. Most of my 28N Nosler brass weighs between 282 to 284 gn so averages about 283gn. But the Hornady brass weighs between 256 to 260 gns. Also, the necks are generally at least .005 longer on the Hornady brass as Hornady trims their brass very consistintely to 2.580 where as Nosler trims to 2.575. I am not sure how to do a H20 test but when I dropped the same powder load into the Hornady my first impression was that it did not come up as high as with the Nosler brass. So my guess is that between the lighter weight of the Hornady brass and considering the longer trim length one could definitely load more powder in a new Hornady brass case than in a Nosler case for sure. Also I thought I would mention that I did buy one box of Nosler loaded ammo. I found the brass to be inconsistently trimmed even less than 2.575. I'm thinking it was trimmed more like 2.565 to 2.570. So I wasn't liking that for sure. [/QUOTE]
