I'm gonna be buying some brass for my 300 win running Berger 215's. This is a new chamber/barrel. I've used Nosler brass in the past with no issues. I can get it locally from the factory for little less than $1 a piece for their blems. Any opinions on the best brass? Lapua still doesn't make 300 win.
 
I have Norma, but that was only because I couldn't find any Nosler brass at the time I got my .300WM. So my recommendation is Nosler.
 
o, I've used both Nosler and Norma in 300WM. I've experienced a slight bit less run out with the Norma using same bullet and dies. Price is close, depending where you find them. Good luck
 
You want extremely consistent give the Sig a try. I've seen 3 different lot numbers now and all measured within 1gr. I believe mean weight was 240gr but would have to check. Largest neck thickness variance was .0005" I even had my CMM guy run it across our Zeiss accura for fun. Weight runs a bit more than others so smaller charges = higher velocity.

Edit:. Bertram and RWS make excellent brass if you can find it.

How many reloads have you done with them? How have they held up?
 
I'm on my 7th reload with them and they have been annealed twice. Just did a body/shoulder bump, otherwise I have been neck sizing only. Brass has grown .005" so no trimming yet. Had a couple primer pockets get a little looser than the rest but those were in the upper end of a couple ladders I was running without a chrono. Current load is a 200gr eldx over H1000 and a CCI 250 in a 24" barrel at 2925 according to the magneto speed
 
Peterson brass from Europtics is another option.
I have this brass in house but haven't reloaded any yet.
Reviews are very good.
Good results with Norma.
I stay away from Winchester and Federal and now Hornady.
