Description
28 NOSLER BRASS – ADG manufactured brass is optimized not only for consistency in performance, but also for durability. One of the ways we accomplished this is by optimizing the material in specific areas to strengthen it. With the optimized material geometry, our brass will generally have a different case volume than most other manufacturer’s brass and therefore will require a different charge weight to achieve the same pressures and velocities. We recommend using a reputable load data source and working up from their recommended minimum starting loads.
We recommend reducing any existing charge weights by 10% and re-developing your specific load when replacing any component in a load recipe with a new component (brass, projectile, primer, or powder type). Failure to reduce charge weights established using other manufacturers brass may result in higher pressures and velocities while using ADG brass and may result in unsafe pressure levels.

I just received my first box of 50 ADG Brass. My brass was 28 Nosler and was Standard/annealed. I was first impressed by the way it was shipped. Shipped in a ammo box with a foam insert to prevent the brass from raddling around all within a cardboard box. I was also impressed with how shinney it was being I didn’t order the shiney version. It appeard to be annealed as well. I had told a friend it had arrived and he asked me how consisten weight wise it was, so I set about weighing all 50 pieces.
It turns out it was very consistent. The heaviest was 258.4 gn and the lightest was 256.9 gn. That is only 1.5 grains! Throwing out the heaviest and the lightest and the difference is only 1.2 gn! Though I’m not for sure going to throw any out as it is. I checked the concentricity of a few rounds and the worst I found after neck sizing was only .002 and that would probably be corrected by tuning the necks. I am really impressed and proud of an American company that with my first impression anyway seems to bettering the best of any foreign brass I have used! Atalas and Elizabethtown Kentucky workers, Please Please keep up the excellent work!!
