Scored 80 pieces of SIG 6.5 Creed once fired brass at the range today. Can anyone tell me about it-----GOOD, BAD, or what?
I'm guessing that it is SIG SAUER---Yes/No ?

Well I weighed 5 pieces of Sig brass and the difference between the heaviest and the lightest was 3/10th. of a grain.
I also weighed 5 pieces of Hornady brass and the difference is 1.3 grains. So the Sig brass is a lot more consistent but will it hold up, that is the question !

Why are you worried just use the stuff.

When it wears out it wears out.

Any more then 2 or 3 loadings you have it paid for.

If you got it for free your way ahead of the game.

Not worried, just curious! Didn't even know Sig made/sold ammo!

Weight differences are often in the head or extractor groove.

Measure case neck wall thickness with a tubing micrometer to determine consistency.
