Hey guys , curious what opinions you have on nosler brass quality ? I kind of have a thing with the 7 mm rm (have three ) that I reload for . The newest one I purchased 100 nosler brass and worked up a killer load but seems after 2 firings the belted area BELOW the case wall that gets resized is expanding ? Have not had this issue with any other brand brass , win , rem . I’m
Looks like my og post got cut off ¿¿ anyway all I added was that I was using Redding comp fl resizing dies , set properly per instructions on die set . Jasnt could you please explain in layman terms how too much headspace would effect the belted area of case? Yes just the one rifle , full build by a very respectful NW builder using their recommendations on load components , they were not specific on brass ( suppose I could just ask them ) figured it was my resizing or brass . Thx again guys
I’m aware that the load is probably pushing a belted case pretty hard , but if I can change brass brands and get a few more reloads vs changing load I’m going to give it a try . Thanks for the replies
B23 , yes that was my plan . Makes sense to back off and work back up , how far would a guy go ? I currently have zero over pressure indicators with the nosler brass . Unless we’re counting the enlarged belt as overpressure . Gunsmith didn’t say if it was caused by the reloading process or the firing , just that he’s seen it before specific to nosler/Norma brass . What do you think ? Thx
