Quick question before I buy. Is Nosler brass as good as Lapua? Please share your experiences in using Nosler brass in terms of durability, consistency and repeatability in accurate loads.

Every brand is compared to Lapua.
Why chance anything else unless Lapua isn't available.

Lapua is always the first choice if available. Sometimes less expensive too.
No! In my opinion Nosler is lower on my list of brash choices. It seems really soft to me. Until recently they were the only ones making 280 Ackley Brass so I am running some. I am chomping at the bit to try some Peterson.
I personally LOVE Alpha Brass. I won't buy Lapua if I can get Alpha......
With prices of components I had the idea of buying 100 rounds of loaded ammo to net me 100 pieces of fire formed brass. Nosler and Lapua loaded ammo are comparable in price with Nosler usually costing about 15-20 percent more.
Do you think those manufacturers use their best brass in loaded ammo?
Thanks for the advice. I’m gonna grab some Lapua ammo and roll on.

I’ve only used nosler brass a 270 but I think it’s behaving pretty well.
I have 223, 243, 300 wm and 6cm Nosler brass. It is right on par with my Lapua brass.
I only have Nosler 300wm, ive never obtained any other brands they have been unobtainable
Just this week ordered lapua 223 brass from Midwayusa so I will know at some point
I like anything I can get that's not 100 dollars or more per 50 pieces shooting hornady cause that was available cheap 2 + years ago and I got a lot of it so why not use it I also have peterson brass sitting off to the side to try when and if the stuff I am using starts to fail hopefully by then brass will be back in stores and cheaper than it is now .personally Id like to try that adg brass when and if I get to start shooting 7 saum but would not be miffed if I found something cheaper . good luck with what ever brand of brass you go with .
I run Nosler I my hunting rifles. My hunting is not long range precision work...but still don't like using run of the mill Win, Fed, RP, etc. I've tested Nosler against run of the mill brass. Same load, same loading process, same rifle, same day. Group size was literally right about half the size with Nosler brass.
If you'd weight sort run of the mill brass maybe you could get consistency down tighter.
Nosler used to be reasonably priced too. Haven't bought any in a while.
