nosler brass

[daveb]

Did anyone checked out the new nosler brass?
It is rather expensive but it is already weight separated.
They also make a 22-250 case. Maybe this is just the solution for all that 6xc shooters out there.A premium case to make match 6xc cartridges from.

Expensive but factor in your time and cost to get 50 cases already culled by weight, it's well worth it. I culled 305 pcs of Tubb 6XC braas by weight yesterday and I sure wish they were already sorted. FWIW, a couple of weeks ago I purchased some fireformed Nosler and Win 6XC brass. The Nosler brass is the same diameter,.465) as the Tubb brass at the base . Whereas, most 22-250 domestic brass is .4615-.463 at the base with most reamers spec'd at .470. The 6XC reamer print I have is .4695 @.200, this would make .4615 Win brass .008 undersize, too much IMHO.

Nosler was kind enough to supply two boxes of the new Match 22-250 brass. John Southwick will be testing this in his very accurate 22-250 AI. Initial inspection was promising. Weights were consisent and the necks did appear to be chamfered inside and out. The brass comes in sealed bags and the boxes had foam to prevent bumps.

John was having problems with Winchester and Norma brass expanding at the web. We'll see if the Nosler fares better.
