Hi
Anyone have any experience in forming 280AI brass from anything readily available as nosler brass price is excessive and I'm looking for alternatives?

Cheers Matt
 
MonkeySpanker has made them from 270 Brass I think. Easy to make from any 280 Rem Brass. I pay the extra for the Nosler brass as the cost of powder, bullets, brass life and time in fire forming 270 brass outweighs the outrageous price. And mine are lasting 8 or so reloads, so £115 for a box of 50 is only about 30 pence each.
 
i have Hornady .280 and posh Norma 280 Ack brass , as well as cheap Remington .280 standard brass i just fire formed them with a heavy bullet and stiff load . just getting an annealing machine off the UK Varminting to give me more reloads and better case life .
