[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 228292, member: 5418"] Thanks for the heads up on that Kirby! I've seen very varied reports on it everywhere that I looked (if I recall correctly particularly on 22-250?). The local shooting and hunting magazine here tested the Noslers in 30-06 for this month's issue and was very impressed with the consistency. The weight seemed very close as those numbers were provided (heavier than other brands though), but details as to neck thickness variation was not provided simply stated that it was "very consistent". It may vary caliber to caliber, but I'll not be buying it. It's a really premium price I expect a really premium product. Eric, I use WW in a 300 WM and it chambers just fine, but I figure my chamber neck is cut a bit generous (actually I view it as I problem and posted elsewhere on that). I think if you neck size it you may be fine. Out of a sample of 50 WW generally: I get 3 or 4 cases with variance over 2 thou, 30-35 within 1 thou, 40 plus with 1 1/2 thou, balance within 2 thou (last 100 cases from the same lot 2 different bags of 50). I use anything within 2 thou, but prefer 1 1/2 thou. for the price you could sort for 1 thou and still be cheaper than Nosler. Whilst I'm posting here, as I didn't get many responses on my post, can you tell me what your neck wall thickness runs on those 300 WM WW if you get a chance. Sorry to highjack. Thanks! WL [/QUOTE]
