Silver State Armory Brass

Anyone know who makes SSA brass and is it any good?

I believe hornady or someone like that just aquired that company and from what I have read,it isnt half bad so to speak.

We used to sell it... no more.

I would rather use Remchester brown bag.

For all I know, SSA makes their own brass. Whoever makes it, the stuff I've had from them (6.8 SPC, 22 PDK) wasn't all that whippy. And several of the guys around here who've had 6.8 SPCs had lousy luck where accuracy's concerned with the SSA SPC - while switching to Hornady's SPC brass improved results a bunch.

Dont know who makes it but I bought a bag of 100 pieces of 308 win brass about 2 years ago and I couldnt believe how much "chad" was left in the flash holes and how huge of a weight difference there was between cases. I dont know if Ill ever get around to using this stuff.

I was at a Fish & Game auction 2 years in Packwood, Wa where the SSA facility is and saw their various bullet & brass -making machines. I knew they had 308 brass and I asked the owner (?) how the 260 Rem brass was coming - he said they had someone testing it in local matches but I never heard anything else on it.
Bottom line, they were making their own product that I saw.

Nosler acquired them last year!
