Brass choice?

[Duck_Hunter]

Hi, I need some opinions on choosing some brass. I want to start reloading for my benchrest rifle (.308) and see that Lapua brass is $60ish for 100 cases and the new nosler brass is $50 for 50 cases. The nosler brass is already weight sorted, so I'm wondering if I buy 100 Lapua,once I sort the brass by weight will I end up with more than 50 cases in the same group?
What are the Nosler tolerances on sorting like? very good?
thanks

Almost certainly yes. When I sorted 50 Remington and 50 Lapua, there was more variance in a single 5-case row of the Rem than in the entire batch of Lapua. So now I don't sort Lapua, saving a lot of time and tracking effort.

I would definitly go for the lapua brass, it is really nice stuff. Wouldn't worry about weight though. I just wish lapua had more of a selection in bulk product.
