I have over 14 reloads on Nosler brass in my sons 280ai. Now I am only running 56.5 grains of 4831SC pushing a 168 ABLR around 2711fps. I have never annealed any of them. I have another 200 pieces waiting to start a new load hoping it last as good as the first batch.
I would say Peterson first. I agree with Alex ADG brass is great stuff. I have some creedmoor adg and Peterson haven't worked with either enough to tell the difference. I have run Nosler in my creedmoor and I have run pretty hot loads in them primer pockets are holding up ok but not great, my buddy running faster speeds is getting more life out of his Peterson, and his dads lapua all in creedmoor.

The. 280 AI is a spoiled child offered In Peterson, adg, nosler they are going to be pretty good. In a democratic presidency I would get the first pile of any that comes available.

I feel for you guys, us the Un- knowing fed the the media truly did think that US citizen s did have guns laid on and plenty of hunting opportunity. It now seems like hunting is restricted, ammo is scarce and your rights are being impeded.
To think that in 1996 after some Lunatic went Berserk our Politicians wanted gun control and stayed that we don't want to go down the same line as America, I'm beginning to agree, you have it tough.
I like my spot child .280ai, now to go online for some Petersen Brass before this shortage affects our market.

It may be worth contacting Alpha brass. They make a lot more .308 case head stuff. Its tougher than Lapua and was just used to break 4 1000yd BR records this year, it shoots.

Anarchy is in vogue in the states. The guns didn't suddenly sprout legs and an attitude.
For your brass, Nosler just can't hang with the rest of the custom offerings. Peterson is good and hopefully Alpha is going to offer it.

I was getting donuts in my nosler 280ai brass.
Junk, not worth the cost imo
How about Peterson ?

If I could find ADG, I would buy it. i haven't tried Peterson, but it has great reviews. ADG was remarkably consistent and great packaging. I have a ton of mixed brass from Nosler, Win, Fed, Norma, Hornady, and Starline. It is just taking up room at the moment. If things get any worse, I may have dig into the stash.

I could never get a hold of anything but Nosler at first. Then got some Hornady. I sold all the Nosler and bough a bunch of Hornady. I'm not a big Hornady brass fan but it was better than the Nosler. I believe 280AI brass is now offered by Norma except I don't think it has been available yet. I just got out of the 280AI and switched to the 284 Win now that better brass is offered and actually available. When I put the 280AI together, options were limited but there were options. With the 284 there were very few if any serious options. Now there's great options available and it's what I wanted in the first place. Good luck in your search.
