Anyone know the history of W-W Super brass, was it made in the same factory as today's Winchester brass | ||

It stood for Winchester Western.. Winchester bought the old Western Cartridge Company out.. I have a batch of brass around here that still says WW on it..

W-W Super is still being made and sold in some calibers. Good stuff. I use Winchester and W-W Super if at all possible. PA Bear Hunter, NRA Benefactor | |||

WW SUPER was first used in 1969. Prior to that Western used SUPER-X and Winchester used SUPER SPEED. Ray Arizona Mountains | |||

Right on Ray!! I still have some boxes of cartridge cases I bought just after they changed over from the old Blue & Gold Super-X boxes to the newer Yellow & Red W-W boxes (hope I got those colours straight - would have to go down to the shop to check for sure). Then I think it was off to White and Red Winchester boxes, and now the stuff recently has all been in plastic (yuk) bags. Gotta keep all those corporate leeches in marketing departments working, I guess.  My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still. | |||

Since I bought my M70 25-06 about the 2nd year they were in production in the early 70s Winchester 25-06 Brass has had at least 3 headstamps. | |||
