Comment on 30 Nosler by David

no creased shoulders, no bent case mouths and the annealing marks were all uniform and stayed high on the case as it should be. I could not see any flash hole burrs inside the cases. The first box ranged from 255.3 -256.9, a 1.6 grain spread. Box 2 was 255.0-256.6, a 1.6 spread, and box 3 was 255.0- 256.9, a 1.9 grain spread.

I normally use Lapua brass for all the calibers I reload for that it is available. However, this brass is fully the quality of Lapua but with a thicker wall. I haven’t loaded these cases enough times yet to fully understand how case life will work out but it seems that it will ad a substantial number of times it can be reloaded. I’m able to get substantially higher velocities without pressure signs. So it looks to be superior even to Lapua brass at this time to me.

After having to replace my stock, I decided to try ADG brass (March 2019). Surprisingly, I did not have to reduce my powder weight during the redevelopment test as recommended. However, the velocity increased 77 fps, and the best 3-shot group size improved to .17 inches at 100 yards. Yes, I know, ballistically, that doesn’t seem possible, but it is what it is. Shooting at 400 yards, the best 3-shot group thus far is 1.698 inches and is consistently under 2 inches. Not bad for an 18-year-old rife with the original barrel.

ADG brass is the best brass I’ve used thus far for my 300 Win Mag. Very well made and is so clean it doesn’t need any prep except maybe for trimming length. I’ve reloaded my first box of brass six times now and I anticipate many more uses. I strongly recommend ADG Brass for the serious shooter.

Let me start off by saying I didn’t buy the brass I am reviewing, but I did do all of the prep work on it for a friend.
We happened across the brass at a local Scheels and he immediately bought 100. First thing to note is all ADG brass comes with ammo boxes, every other brass company I have bought from ships it bulk. As everyone knows this causes damage to case necks. Second, all of the brass is annealed and looks great.
Aside from the looks this brass is nothing short of fantastic, the weight of the individual cases fell between 220.9 and 223.2, only a 2.3 grain difference. Which for someone that grew up reloading Winchester and Federal brass, is pretty damn impressive. I didn’t measure every piece just every 4 or 5; however, they were all within .001 that I measured. Once again without trimming or sizing yet, that’s pretty damn impressive. And every primer pocket was nice and tight, but not overly tight.
Overall my first experience with ADG brass was a fantastic one and I can’t wait for the 28 Nosler to be available for my own rifle…. Hint, hint.

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!!

I received 100 cases today. It is very consistent by weight, and there is minimal run out for loaded rounds (Forster Co Ax press). Will post more when I see how it shoots out of Miss Finicky, my Sako AV Hunter lightweight. I shouldn’t bitch too much, many elk have dropped to her charms.

With the help of Josh I recently received some 6.5 PRC brass from ADG. Quality brass is not easy to come by, it is never inexpensive and there are only a few providers out there with none manufactured in the US There is a new one and that is ADG. The brass I received was at least as good as any Lapua or Norma brass that I have reloaded.

The neck walls were only .0005 diff, the length was dead on and very little case weight differences. The cases were loaded and checked for run out, there was not enough to adjust for.

I took them to the range to fire-form with no real expectations of tight groups or low SD’s. I should have known better after all the mic testing etc. I did before loading them. These 15 rounds shot a ¾ group, which includes two flyers caused by the shooter and produced a 4.5 SD at a V of 3,200. I am sure the groups will tighten up now that they are formed.

Last but not least is the fact that these are made in the US.

Five stars for sure and ADG brass will be my go to.

On my 3rd firing max load of h1000 behind a 140 JLK on 20 pieces and case length growth (OAL) is minimal, neck dia still consistent with what it was new, primer pockets are tight as new accuracy is stupid good..
Ive also ran some 147 ELDM not my favorite bullet but they will suck the life out of a case really fast due to their long bearing surface anyways I couldn’t get anywhere near my load im running in this brass with RL26 and hornady brass.. sucks it up and keeps on ticking!!! Im going to dare say that it will run 10 plus firings, I will keep you posted as I continue to shoot it
