[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1854408, member: 26477"] I started a post on brass selection last week and asked who used what and why as well as Nosler. I have been using Nosler brass for years and, although it has increased in price dramatically, it seems to be within closer weight tolerances than ever before. Now within a few tenths of a grain rather than a grain or two. The neck tolerances are excellent and the primer pockets have been as well. I get around 10 loads on my 300RUM and 15 on 25-05, .270, 22.250 and 338WinMag. Have to trim every 3rd reload and anneal them when I think they need it. I don't find anymore deviations in the reloaded fired rounds in fps but after trimming, etc, I weigh and sort them before I reload them. This is when they start to spread weight difference in larger amounts. I heard that ADG is really good brass and I am going to be trying some soon. Lots of shooters here prefer Lapua. The only Lapua I have purchased was a lot larger spread than Nosler brass I have been buying recently, when it's available, so I wasn't personally impressed at buying more of it. The crux of it all is to reload the brass you feel gives you the tightest groups. Hope this helped. [/QUOTE]
