Nosler Custom Brass
« on: May 30, 2022, 01:19:21 PM »
Is Nosler custom brass worth the money? I’m pretty new to reloading and trying to figure out how many shots I should get out of them. Additionally how many shots should I get out of normal Nosler Brass? I’m shooting a 270 Winchester short magnum.

There is better brass for the $ but it’s not terrible.  As for how many loads that depends on your chamber size vs dies, your loads, your loading practices, and several other variables I’m for getting about.  It’s difficult to say, in today’s market it’s also difficult to be picky

I shoot quite a bit of nosler brass and it is pretty good stuff.  The prices have gone through the roof lately....as with all prices for all reloading components.  I shoot nosler in 300wsm and to date I am on the third reloading.  I do anneal so I expect I will get upwards of 7+ reloads out of them. 

Prior to annealing I shot a lot of nosler in non magnum calibers such as .270 and 7mm-08.  I would get a lot of reloads...maybe 7-10 (back before I really kept track).  This is when I reloaded for hunting purposes only and would shoot to 300-400 yards so never pushed the pressure spectrum.  Set your dies up so you are bumping the shoulder back 0.002-0.003 and you should get quite a bit of life out of your brass. 

With all the above being said....Nosler is now just as expensive as other brass that is better quality.  If you can find it....peterson, lapua, adg, are about the same price and better in my opinion.  If nosler is all you can find, get it and shoot it.  happy reloading.   :tup:
