Recommend me some brass for 300 Win Mag

[stinkyDrunk]

A new rifle is on the way, chambered in 300 Win Mag. I had figured on purchasing a few hundred pieces of Lapua brass but since learned Lapua does not offer it anymore. So what's left?

This thread on longrangehunting.com from last year makes me suspicious of Nosler brass:

Would appreciate any recommendations.

Been using Win brass with decent success.

When I used to load for .300 WM I used WIN and Nosler custom. The latter being weight sorted and more expensive.

F*^K Nosler, don't even waste your time. Of course ChadTRG42 is gonna come along and say it's the shit, but I've had trouble w/ it. 7% failure rate for me and Nosler. Expensive crap. I do have 5 firings on the 93 cases that were usable, but I like Win. It's cheap and of course not flawless, but it's always worked for me. Midway emailed me a couple weeks ago and said they had Lapua .300WM brass in stock. Really doubt it's still there but couldn't hurt to look.

Remington. I personally prefer the Win, just because the Remington brass has a slightly loose primer pocker after 3-4 reloads. May be I am just driving them too hot.

Your problems are solved! RWS, supposedly better than lapua.

I have 3920 new Lapua and 79 once fired and am using Winchester. Go figure. Actually I am saving the Lapua for when I need bucks.

Meaning, it all works fine.

When I got my 300 Win Mag hunting rifle, I had bought 300 rounds of new brass from Hornady. So far it's doing very well. Not all of it has bee shot 3 times yet.
