[QUOTE="Gadsden, post: 3768298, member: 49555"] Is anyone else having issues with Nosler Brass or had problems in the past? I've got some for my 300WSM that's giving me a headache. First problem was with the primer pockets, they seem to be too small because, at least on some, it's a real struggle to get them seated and when I say struggle I mean it's almost like forcing them into the pocket. The other primers, the ones I didn't have to force in, went in but they were nowhere near as easy as it is on any other brass I have. Secondly, I can't get the finished cartridge to fit in my rifle. By that I mean, with the exception of one, it won't allow the bolt to close once it's in the chamber and the one that finally did didn't want to come back out when I tried to pull the bolt back. This is new brass that I ran through my Redding resizing die, the same as I did with my Hornady brass that I have not had one problem with. For what it's worth and if it helps, I have some Nosler brass for my 223 that has not given me any headaches it's just with the 300WSM. I can see the Nosler brass is thicker than Hornady's but the measurements I've taken on both cartridges are nearly identical. I figure I'm missing something somewhere, but I've got no idea what it is so I'm hoping someone of you can point me in the right direction. . [/QUOTE]
