SigSauer brass

[wboggs]

Has anyone used this brass? I am wondering about it compared to Lapua. Thinking 6.5 Creedmoor.
Thanks.

It's not the equal of Lapua but it's pretty decent brass. I formed and fire formed some SIG .270 Win brass into .280 AI and it did well. Did not lose a case during forming and fire forming, but it is not as durable as Lapua. Pockets started loosening up after 8 cycles or so, which isn't bad. From a cost perspective, SIG is about half the price of Lapua and it lasts about half as long. The economics are a wash. Lapua is more consistent.

I've used the sig stuff in a few Creedmoors. Seemed to be great stuff for the price.

Worked with some 308 Sig brass awhile back and it seemed to be good stuff.

I've loaded some .243 Win. Sig brass, nice quality brass!

Used Sig 243 Win brass to form 6mmSLR and it worked well excellent quality. I didn’t get doughnuts as I did when using Lapua.

To have a different headstamp from the Lapua brass used for my 358 Win., got some SIG in 308 to expand for a 338 Federal. Using a tapered expander, the 1st 50 pieces necked right up one swipe without loss. The 20 pieces I'm using for load development (mild to semi-wild) are on their 11th firing without any loss. No complaints.

Made by Starline?

Hard to run that down. Most report that it is good brass at a reasonable price.

Made by Starline?

Sig makes thier own brass.

Thought it was Ruag or RWS.

Where did you get that info?

 

[wboggs]

Other forums have mentioned Jagemann in Minnesota. No confmation of anything.

Where did you get that info?

I have been there. I supplied barrels for ammo testing. It is a full blown ammunition manufaturing plant.

 

[wboggs]

That is the most definitive answer we have and settles the question. Is the plant in Jacksonville, Arkansas?

 

[Walt Krafft]

Yes, it is in Jacksonville, AR
