Anybody know why Nosler brass is so expensive? It seems like it's at least the price of Lapua, if not a little more sometimes. Is it that good?
 
There are two grades of Nosler brass; bulk and premium. The bulk brass comes in plastic bags. The premium comes in padded boxes.

The premium brass is:

"weight-sorted to provide consistent measurements and capacities for accurate loads and features a Nosler head-stamp. Before shipment, Nosler chamfers and deburrs the case mouths and deburrs the flash hole."

i've loaded 223 brass straight out of the box with Nosler Custom (box)
i know that is frowned upon typically. but it worked perfectly
 
Meh, what are you doing with it? I keep to Lapua if it's a match, but really DGAF otherwise. I load .300WM in Winchester brass (not known for being exceptional), and it's on rails.

IMHO if it's near the price of Lapua I'd go Lapua. Unless you're shooting BR I would not stress a whole lot.

It's not for competition or anything, but it is for a rifle I've tried to make as accurate as possible. The problem is I haven't been able to find Lapua 223 brass in stock anywhere but a lot of places have Nosler so I was curious.
 
I would go Norma without a second thought. Starline 5.56 Brass is also excellent.

edit: Yes I've used and sectioned Nosler brass. Uniformaty is pretty good, but primer pockets seam to be softer than Norma or Starline 5.56

Here you go. They are a new vender on here. I've ordered from them including this Norma & they are GTG.

Hard to beat this deal on Norma primed/not staked 223. They also have 100 for $36 if you don't need this much.
