I'm using it now in the new 243. So far so good. The weight is actually more consistent than the last box of Lapua I bought. No burrs on the flash holes.
Seems pretty good so far

I bought some for the .204 Ruger as my (previously) favourite Lapua is not made in this calibre. The quality and consistency of the Nosler brass has changed my preferance.
The stuff is beautifully made with virtually no difference in weight or length. Flash holes are drilled and the necks perfectly deburred. There was no need to do the usual full length resize on first use, just a neck size.

From now on I will only be using Nosler.

http://www.midwayuk.com/ generally have a good stock.

I am using them in 22/250, better than Lapua in my opinion (Lap dont do 22/250 but I use them in other calibres)

I've started to replace the 22-250 AI norma with the Nosler now. I am getting so many split necks with Norma.

Blue,
i was getting split necks after 3-4 reloads with Norma, did you find the same?
I also found that the Nosler stuff has .002" thicker neck walls resulting in less stretch which can only be a good thing.

Yep....
2nd or 3rd load and the brass is trashed. The load is 40.4 of 150 with 52 A-Max, so stiff, but not hot. Not impressed as even the Win brass is lasting at least 6 loads (not gone beyond that yet). The primer pockets on the Win brass seems to open up slightly and federal primers will fall out. Saying that, FP10 Match primers now gone, so using CCI BR2s and they are fine.

I have all the Nosler now loaded and will see how many loads I get from the first 5.

I found that Winchester cases gave me most split necks in 22/250

Blimey im using remmy case for my 7mm mag and have reloaded them 4 times now with no wear signs! Also my .22-250 have been reloaded 4 or 5 times with no wear signs either! at 4 times the price of remmy cases i would be sevrely p155ed. not sure if i wil reload the 7mm cases anymore as i was thinking of getting nosler/norma cases next. i now know its not gunna be norma cases.

Never had any problems with Lapua, but 22-250 is not offered.
I only chose the Nosler brass as I reload for a couple of others and each uses a different brass manufacturer on my request (so I can tell whos is whos:rolleyes:). I chose Nosler and am happy with the results so far.

204 Nosler custom brass is spot on no problems.

Getting split necks with winchester after 2 reloads.

Yep, i use nosler custom brass for 243 loadings and found all 50 spot on for weight and uniformity. Flash holes first class...v good.
Only thing was i found the necks SLIGHTLY unevenly finished and not perfectly chamferred, but way better brass overall than anything else i've seen. Price reasonable too :)
