I remember back a long time ago when Larry used to pump Leupold and Talley

Care to share?

I just got an email from Nosler I can see the goat phuuck starting but we shall see

I am sorry, time has gotten away from me today! My gunsmith took a look over the rifle and didn’t find anything visually wrong. He did mentioned that the trigger had been adjusted to a lighter pull weight and was not properly set. The rifle has been cleaned and sent down to our ballistics lab to be tested for accuracy. This will give us a good indication about what is going on and we will have a baseline to begin our diagnosis. I will let you know when I am provided the results from our lab.

Thanks,

Well, the popcorn is running out again and I'm just starting to realize this could be one of those threads that goes on for chapters like a cheap novel.
A couple things I've learned over the years on this forum- in spite of the 8 or so years I took off due to ass-ole saturation of the site...

If I was a manufacturer in anything gunny related, Larry would be my test mule no doubt. As said above, if it can survive his test criteria it can survive anything. We've all seen the videos with him throwing his rifles with scopes mounted in rivers, across gravel bars, and generally any place but where most of us more dainty hunters wouldn't.
He shoots more in a couple weeks than any ten of us in a lifetime and reports his results in finite detail and the reasons why- "being led to water" is his most accurate line. He also isn't afraid to change up his wares if something better comes along and he will say so along the way. Leupolds are a good example. When only a few manufacturers of scopes were in the league of Leupold, that was a wise choice. As more choices came along, Larry started to experiment with everything, not just the higher end stuff, but the affordable stuff also. He has tested Nightforce, Bushnell, and just about anything else you can imagine and related back what worked and why. All you have to do is read and learn because even if you didn't care for his delivery, the content is always accurate. On top of it all, he does all this on his own dime as far as I can tell. In his neck of the woods, I doubt anyone has been a better salesman for their preferred brands of rifles, scopes, bullets, brass, etc.... just about anything gunny.

As far as Larry's ascerbic personality- well, that is just Larry. I kind of accept that you take it or leave it. Getting worked up by it is a total waste of time. Being entertained by his style and the trolling and responses is great fun at times for some of us.

If I was Peterson Brass, I would quietly in the background make sure Larry got whatever brass he needed and have him return the brass that is defective so they can improve on it. Have Larry report back on the new brass and future brass to help them with their apparent QC problem in the future and to keep them at the top of their game. Any manufacturer that doesn't see deserved criticism as an opportunity for improvement is missing the boat. IMO. Getting your feelings hurt really isn't going to get you anywhere except angry, which is a bad place to be when you have a public audience to sell to. Humble sells more product IMO.

Okay, continue on while I get some more popcorn..

Best case scenario?

They don't send you another Nosler.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in this thread. From what I have been able to understand, the vaunted stick has changed a lot of his thinking over the years. Heck...I read an archived thread on here 1 time where Larry even believed the 25/06 Rem to be the cat's meow. He now believes it to be a piece of excrement. He might never admit it, but according to what he once believed and "hinted" at and placed at the water trough so he could lead people to it, he now believes he was wrong. Why? There is a learning curve in life on just about everything we do...even with stick.

Peterson hasn't been in business for that long compared to others in the business (at least from what I understand). Maybe there is a learning curve in there somewhere. All of stick's disciples seem to overlook all the mistakes he made earlier in his life when it comes to things like which scopes work and don't work, what cartridges shoot which bullets better than others, etc. I have seen threads on here of those who like/don't like Lapua, Norma, certainly Remington and Winchester brass; but I haven't seen any of those who have gotten bad batches of brass from these manufacturers spew venom like they have on this brass. Heck, there has even been Nosler rifles and others talked about being sent back because it doesn't come up to the standards of what the company claims. And yet, there is no forum wide call to arms against those other manufacturers.

I have no experience with Peterson brass, but if they ever make any in a caliber I need it for, I would try it. If we're going to crucify a company because of what we have read and the pictures we have seen on this thread then let's not be hypocritical about stuff. Let's crucify every manufacturer we read about that has put out a bad product on here. Problem is, pretty soon we wouldn't be able to buy anything from any manufacturer because they have all let things fall through the cracks at one time or another.

Just my $.02 worth.

Pat has already stated that he has Peterson brass in route.

I always figured you for an en route kind of guy. I guess I misunderestimated you.
