Herter brass, any good?

[gamestalker]

I recently come into a bunch of once fired .270 win. Herter brass. So before I start my work up, I wanted to know if it's thicker than say Win or RP brass, and general opinions of the quality. Someone said it is actually Hornady, is it?

When Cabela's bought the rights to the Herter's brand, they contracted with several different companies to manufacture their ammunition. I don't have any experience with their rifle brass, but have quite a bit of experience with their handgun brass with the Herter's headstamp. Some is made in Russia, but most is made by S&B, at least from the information on the boxes I've looked at in the local Cabela's store.

I don't have a problem reloading either S&B or Herter's handgun brass, so maybe someone with experience with their rifle brass will chime in. You could always section one and take some measurements.

Hope this helps.

I like their pistol brass.

My Herter's brass has very tight primer pockets but it holds up well. I don't remember who actually makes it, but someone did tell me at one time.

I have both Herters and S&B brass in .308, and there is no doubt in my mind that S&B makes Herters brass. Same weight and same distinctive case head construction.

yes herter's have very tight pockets. I shoot both rifle and pistol, in herter's brass. I have all kinds of brass laying around. But one thing i do, is headstamp all my brass and shoot only that brass until it is all fired.

Herter's cycles well in my semi auto pistols, doesn't hang up my wheel guns, and always ejects from rifles.

You wont have problems with herter's brass as long as you stick to the guidelines to your manuals.
