Plunked down $60 for 50 ct. 260 Rem cases. Just didn't feel like spending $125 for 100 Lapuas
We shall see . . .

NOT all brass starts out great. Several on this thread have mentioned Nosler brass. I've had a mixed-bag of luck with them. I had a rifle "blueprinted" by Greg Tannel. He chambered it in 260 Remington, same as original caliber rifle was from Remington. I had a struggle with brass not fitting. I called him and explained. He said , "Let me guess, Nosler brass" . I threw that stuff away, went to Brunos and bought some just released Lapua 260 brass. Problem solved. I don't use much Nosler brass these days unless I can't get what I need elsewhere.
I'm not even sure Nosler makes brass.

Follow up report. Got my 50 cases. They come in a nice plastic case with padding so they don't rattle around. Visually, they look like Lapua cases in regards to the annealing. They are headstamped .260 Rem Match. Even Lapua is not that proud of their stuff.

Did a quick weight check against what I had on hand:

Peterson wt. = 174.4 gr
Lapua = 174.5
Winch (7-08) = 155.3 (delta of ~12%)

Didn't have any off-center primer hole or butchered primer pockets. I reckon the customer "feedback" from Stick tuned them up smirk
