I'm Done With Nosler Brass!

[L.Sherm]

You think its coincidence that they bought the company right before they introduced there Nosler line of cartridges

 

[david g ranes]

I would be in jail if I had insider information like that be to hard to pass up

 

[L.Sherm]

LOL I dont think it is.

 

[nicholasjohn]

No they dont, Nosler bought out a small brass company to start making there own.
Google it I cant remember who it was

I read somewhere a while back that it was Silver State Armory.

 

[L.Sherm]

Yep that's what SSA stands for

Do they put SSA in their headstamp ?

 

[L.Sherm]

I dont think so, but I'm not sure about that.

Do they put SSA in their headstamp ?

Why would they?

For what it's worth. I used Nosler 6mm Creedmoor brass the year in the PRS and couldn't be happier with it. I bought 400 pieces. I'm on my second barrel. Some of the brass has six+ firings. Still works great. For the record I switched from 6xc this season because the norma and Peterson brass quality was inconsistent. Weighs, neck thickness and some of the norma was really soft. The primers were loose in two firings.

L.Sherm wrote "that's what SSA stands for." I wondered where he saw SSA, and asked if it was head-stamped on Nosler brass. I've never used Nosler brass or ammo, so I've never seen their headstamp.

 

[L.Sherm]

It's been a couple years since I've looked at Nosler brass, that being said I dont think there was SSA on it stamped.

 

[sturner]

I loaded 7mag with Nosler brass it was stamped Nosler

 

[terry 338rum]

They still make SSA-stamped brass in certain calibers. SSA had a very strong reputation for making quality 6.8 SPC brass, so Nosler kept the branding. However, folks are having bad experience with some of the newer 6.8 SPC brass--looks like Nosler has dragged some of that brand's reputation down.
