| the Graf brass is manufactured by Hornady. i assume that it is proper in all respects. i think Hornady does not make anything that is not first class. |

Hardly so.
Very likely made on contract by Prvi Partizan, as much (though nmot all) of the "Hornady" brass. My source for this general attribution: Hornady. That means that the quality will likely be very good; Prvi Partizan brass is renowned.

| carcano91: If you are familiar with the Prvi Partizan brass, and it seems you are, how does it compare with Norma brass. I have a 7x57mm and currently use Remington brass. I have to trim on every reload with the Remington stuff. Thanks ... Tom Purdom |

| i'm not interested in arguing about it, believe what your source tells you. a Graf rep told me it was made by Hornady. perhaps he meant that Hornady supplied the brass which is made by a Hornady contractor?? are we meaning the same thing?
PC: in fact, the 9.3x62 brass is the product i asked Graf specifically about. |

| Thanks Bill & Tom. It seems well priced, but I really like Lapua 9.3x62 brass I do not want to be dissapointed. |

Yes and yes. Graf's buy the stamped cases from Hornady, not directly from Prvi Partizan.

This caliber is 100 % not made by Hornady. Only a few cases are made by Hornady, e.g. the .405 Win. Others have been bought in the past from FNM, Hirtenberger and now mostly from Prvi Partizan. So, be confident: you get excellent quality.

| PC: like you, i use Lapua brass. it is, in fact, pretty good stuff.
Carcano91: thanks for the information. does this company, Prvi Partizan, contract to others besides Hornady? sometime you find that one company makes a product which is then marketed through several others who mark the price up based upon their reputation. for instance is Lapua or Norma made by these guys or do they manufacture their own brass? if all the brass is made by the one contractor then a guy oughta buy the cheaper brand. thanks for the help. |
