Received an Armalite-7.62/16"SS DL bbl/1:10T Upper.Some questions-Is Nosler brass considered Good quality?? Will be going for max accuracy using 165gr-168gr Bullets.Powders I have available are-Tac,IMR4064,4895,RL-15,Varget,H-335,8208XBR,BLC2.Since bbl is 16"-should I consider faster burning powders in that group?? Will ultimately go through load development. Thanks for advice.

IIRC, Nosler brass is made by Norma and headstamped as "Nosler." It's good stuff. What separates it from other offerings is that they've already done most of the work for you. I mean, Nosler brass is about as prepared as it can be for accurate reloading. My Dad's had good luck with it in 30-06. I have no reason to believe the .308 would be any different.
