[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 516481, member: 10755"] I too dispute that Nosler brass is made by Norma. I can almost guarantee that it's made by Federal. I like this brass, it runs around 3 gr's less in my 300WM than either Winnie or Remmy brass, but delivers the same velocity. I actually measured the capacity of all my different brass brands, and the Nosler custom was the least in capacity, hence the charge variation. It also weighed the heaviest out of Rem, Win and Lapua. SakoShooterSD, Weighing your brass does not tell you the capacity, or even where the weight difference is occurring between brands/lots of brass, but sectioning them does. I've sectioned all of the above, and Remington runs a couple grains lighter than Winchester, on average, and has much heavier walls than Winchester, but Winchester has a thicker web, Nosler has thick walls and a heavy web which appears to be higher in relation to the base. The weights ran like this: Win=239.1gr (avg) Rem=236.1 (avg) Lap=235.4 (avg) Nos=249.7 (avg) If weight sorting, it's only relevant if you use the same batch/lot No. Switching between lots may have a similar weight, but the capacity can actually be far different from lot to lot. I know this to be true with most brands of brass, except Lapua, and somewhat Norma brass. Rule of thumb used to be for me, +/- 1gr in weight from the same batch. I would lump them together in weight sorted batches, which I would take from the same batch/lot of 100, but when it became difficult to get lot matched bags of brass in this country, I tossed the idea and no longer bother with it. I use the chrony to tell me where the accuracy node for my rifle is and settle on that. I can and do get quite consistent velocities even from unweighed brass, although I do still do all the other necessary case prep for which consistent velocities rely on. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
