I'm going to be FFing some .257 Roy and am shopping brass. What do y'all suggest?
Normally I'd just buy Win or RP, but they both have TERRIBLE ratings recently from MidwayUSA customers.
Does anyone have experience w/ Nosler Custom in this cartridge? Is it still made by Federal, leaving it w/ overly soft primer pockets?
I'm not up to paying for Norma, but have been keeping my eye on shootersproshop for Nosler Custom.
Now that I'm looking, there is about NOTHING in stock anyway!
Graf's has Prvi Partisan... anybody tried that stuff at all? Wow it is CHEAP too... same price for 100 that others are charging for 50. Sheesh even if I had a 50% reject rate it'd be ok...
What say you?

I prefer RP to Win or Fed. Hornady is made by Win. Wouldn't even try Prvi...you get what you pay for. Last year went to the RCBS X-sizer dies and couldn't be happier. You get alot more loads off the same brass, even my .300 WM. Hope this helps.

I prefer WW or R-P. You will eventually get a bad lot of any brand.

I have done that to probably 500 WW and have only 1 that did not form and function perfectly. So, you you know where my vote goes..........
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging
