[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1052332, member: 42308"] I'll assume you are referring to 264 win mag. I bought 100 pieces of Nosler from Midway USA. I have fired all of them twice at this point. I lost one piece to getting stuck in the die (my fault totally, I forgot to apply lube before sizing) and one piece during pressure testing (it was probably ok, but I had a sticky bolt lift so I trashed it). I load 74.5g of WC867 for 3140fps with a 140g Berger VLD in MY RIFLE, YMMV. 77.0g was where I found the sticky bolt lift, my highest (attainable) accuracy is at 74.5g. I haven't noticed any loosening of the primer pockets, or recorded any excessive stretching at the base or in the length of the cases. Lastly, I excluded one case because it was more than 1.0g +\- the mean when I first sorted them and all of the cases came to me +/- .002" in length. Honestly, I'd jump all over either Norma or Nosler brass, since Lapua doesn't make anything with the correct head stamp that I'm Aware of. Your rifle may prefer Winchester brass, that you will need to find out. I hope that helps. Have fun, be safe. [/QUOTE]
