Who's used this stuff? I'm thinking of buying some my my 6.5x57, but if it is anything like S&B brass, I'll pass and buy more RWS. TIA

I only have minimal experience with it, but the first lot of 5.6x50R brass I purchased was excellent. The ensuing two batches had ultra-thin necks and some consistency (weight) problems.

I have used both their brass and their loaded ammo in .308, .270, and a couple of other chamberings. Overall, it is my dead last choice for brass. Their ammo was and still is the least accurate factory ammo I have ever shot, and sometimes pressures were excessive.

All that I have encountered has very small flash-holes (smaller than .068"), which means having to replace the primer ejection pins in my sizing dies. Several batches have proved to have inconsistent annealing, and generally I found it not worth the effort, let alone the price.

They once made some ammo for Musgrave of South Africa, and I still have about 60 boxes of that because it is too poor quality, in my judgement, for me to fire it through my rifles.

YMMV.

I would personally go for the RWS brass, if you can afford it... Hirtenberger can be a bit iffy...

Few years ago, I bought 100 357 brass. I'll never do it again.

Thanks for the input. Sounds about like S&B brass, which I will no longer touch with a 10-foot pole. I've been using RWS brass and it is very good, but pricey. But I'll stick with it nonetheless...

I´ve always been happy with Norma and Lapua brass even though Rem brass (only tried .444) was OK. The Winchester brass (.375) that I bought last year was very rough and very dented -case mouths were out of shape, shell length varied more than 0.5mm etc. Sako is usually fine.

Someone has to blow the Nordic horn!
