Hirtenberger Brass
I was looking for sources of 7x65R brass when I came accross this company. Can anyone tell me anything about them? How is the quality of their brass? Any information or other recommendations would be most appreciated.
Thanks

In 9 mm and .357 its o.k. I have had my worst experiences with high praised RWS brass: .357 would split upon 2 nd sizing!

In that rimmed caliber your choices are limited: RWS, Geco ( cheap line from RWS ), Norma, Lapua?, Sellier & Bellot, Blaser. I would give it a try.

Have fun, Hermann

Compare with a standard flash hole in the RWS case at center

I experienced the same flashole problem in Hirtenberger 7x64 and 7x65R cases, got bored of it and just threw them away.
