300 rum brass

[DXHI]

Looking for suggestions of which manufacturer to purchase. First time loading for this beast trying to make sure I'm prepped and ready for an elk hunt. Been using factory ammo.
Apparently lapua doesnt make .

So between nosler or norma.....

Norma, unless you have a stash of Rem, for that special occasion

ADG or Norma

 

[Dosh]

I buy both, they're about the same.

 

[codyadams]

Neither, ADG is better than both.

Atlas/ADG is better unless you can find some of the Remington brass. But many of those who have a 'stash' of Remington believe it is more valuable than platinum.
I'm holding onto mine and shooting the ADG for time being.

Is Remington RUM brass that good??
I've never had a use for Rem brass except for foulers in any other cartridges I shoot.

I can't speak for anyone except for myself. I've been shooting the .300 RUM since it was introduced, about 1999 I think. I bought 2,000 pieces of brass at the time and they have carried me this far, so far. My loads, while warmer than many, are not primer pocket shattering high pressure. I anneal when required and full length resize. My goal is 10 or more shots per piece then shoot them as foulers. I shot some Nosler and found it to be lacking, although the Norma was a tiny bit better, not by much.

I have quite a bit of the Rem brass from a past 300RUM & 7RUM (Had to use 300RUM to load for 7RUM, unless you got some from factory loaded 7) and it's good stuff!

The Nosler 300 Rum brass is made by Norma, then Nosler prep it & make it shiny etc

 

[tbrice23]

Unbelievable.
I've ran from RP since I first started reloading on 308 Winchester.

That's because it most often sucks. Apparently the 300 rum is an anomaly. I don't even consider reloading federal or Remington brass. Heavy and inconsistent.

I've used Rem brass in 300RUM and 338RUM. With a little brass prep they shot rather well. It wouldn't hurt to sort them by weight.

For a new purchase the ADG looks pretty good.

 

[jasonco]

The only reason, and only one, that I haven't used ADG yet, is because haven't needed to for 300RUM.

Now 28 Nosler, I need me some that ADG stuff?! Missed out on the first run a week ago or so SOL! They won't have any again for a while?
