[QUOTE="winmag, post: 634945, member: 22166"] I dunno yet. I went down to the Nosler Pro Shop & I bought a bag of Nosler Brass the other day to try out when my build is completed. I almost choked! Holy crap they're proud of that stuff!! So I asked the guy what made it so good? What is it comparable to? Why so much? He was almost appalled that I would ask such a question, & got kinda arrogant. He started spouting off about thier superior product, & how thier brass was weight sorted, & completely pre propped. ....ok, so I have a few hours less work. So what makes it so "superior"? I mean its not Lapua brass. What's it comparable to? He got kinda irritated that someone would dare even ask, & started in on his 25+ years if handloads experience..... Yatta Yatta. & nothing he'd ever used compared. When he, & his partner started in on calibers (bullet diameter) being more suceptable to run out (cartriges didn't matter, nor did bullet shape, length, or weight, or dies used or anything remotely close to making sense, but this miracle Nosler brass cured it) I figured he was a useless windbag with an ego. I was so irked I almost took my $119. back, & told em where to go, but instead, I gritted my teeth, paid for my "superior" brass, & left quietly. Weird thing is, my cousin (who knows virtually 0 about anything gun related), can go in the pro shop, & this same guy thinks my cousin Hung the moon, & treats him like a golden child, & bends over backwards to be polite, & helpfull, While I'm standing there with him, & I'm asking questions. Lesson learned, take my golden child cousin if I go back to the pro shop, or just order my Nosler stuff from Cabellas or somewhere else local. I'm kinda bummed, cause this guy only started at the pro shop within the last year or so, & I have not had a single good experience in there since. Time will tell how this "superior" brass will perform, & IF its worth an ARM, & a leg, & dealing with a blowhard at the pro shop. It better be dang good! [/QUOTE]
