Nosler brass

[17remhunter]

I just purchased some Nosler brass for my 17 Remington. I heard that Nosler brass is just Norma brass head stamped Nosler Can anyone verify this. I was under the impression that Nosler brass is Premium Brass equal to Lapua or Peterson

Lapua, Peterson, Alpha, ADG. Those are premium. Everything else is at least a tier below. I've heared Nosler/Norma is pretty soft and won't last many reloads, but that's with larger cartridges. Similar to Hornady probably.

Run what you got, but if your goal is to maximimze number of reloads go with the expensive brass. I wouldn't get too hung up on this.

I’ve had great luck with Nosler/Norma brass. It’s been good to go for me.

Nosler Brass is manufactured here in Oregon. It’s fine brass but definitely on the softer side. Expect ejector marks on the case head.

Norma used to make Nosler brass and some of their ammo. They now make most of their stuff in redmond. Other than softer heads, it's the best brass I've used. Way better than my ADG in wall thickness uniformity. I've used their blem brass for 10+ years; trimmed, deburred, and chamfered.

I have no idea if its the same but I actually like the Norma 300wsm brass I have. Its soft and will show ejector marks but I don't mind.
