[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1297146, member: 17112"] In many applications the Nosler/Norma brass has slightly less case capacity compared to RP/Winchester/etc. Most people hit pressure sooner and see equivalent MV with 1-2gr less powder than with RP. I haven't yet used Nosler in the STW but I have seen what I described above to be true in a 6.5 RSAUM and a 300 RUM that I've reloaded for. The main thing is always find the load for your gun...don't take a load that may be near max for the cartridge, when it may have been developed using RP brass, and substitute in your gun with Nosler brass. At the least you'll probably get a stuck bolt but could be worse. [/QUOTE]
