NOSLER prepped brass

Does anyone have any thoughts...good or bad on how good NOSLER
prepped brass is? I'm thinking of buying a few boxes for my
6.5x284..its seems a good way to go, as its weight sorted, case
necks are turned,flash hole is deburred, full length resized
etc. The brass probably isn't as good as Lapua..but even at
that, you could probaly reload three or four times at least,the
price really isn't bad considering the time you could save. I'd
appreciate any thoughts on this brass.
 
sandyn: I bought Nosler Custom brass when it first came on the market, thru Sinclair, in 22-250. I found it to be very high quality: almost too nice to use.
 
I bought a couple of boxes to try in my 22-250AI witch i have been pleased with so far. i did how ever do a skim cut on the necks to true them up, it had been a while but if I remember right it was only about .001. I don't think IMHO it is as good Lapua brass but it isn't bad at all. saved sorting by weight and deburring the flash holes.

Have bought 200 for my 280AI. Pleased with the quality. Stiff loads will loosen primer pockets sooner than Lapua brass. Brass life is good with sensible loads.

I tried Nosler one time for a 22-250 I use for coyote and I personaly feel its not worth the x-tra cost. my prepped and sorted winchester brass gave just as good accuracy and case life. When I bought the Nosler I still had to weight sort and I neck turned. I would go with Lapua for bench shooting and just stick with winchester for hunting. The only thing the Nosler really saves over the cheaper brands flash hole and primer pocket reaming, and you still could do it on the Nosler if you wanted. IMHO
