Who makes brass with the H P headstamp ?
« on: February 11, 2008, 02:45:41 AM »
I bought some 6.5 x 57 R brass and it has a head stamp with H P and two stars on it, I would like to know if anyone knows who makes this brass and if it is considered to be of good quality ? Any help would be appreciated.    Thanks,   Jedman

HP = Hirtenberger Patronen-, Zündhütchen-und Metallwarenfabrik A.-G., Hirtenberg, Niederdonau, Austria

From the Intl. Ammo Assoc. Headstamp ID

No info on the quality.

Thanks Bill, I took a piece of the H P brass and a piece of RWS and milled the case head web area of both and they are nearly identical except the H P has a smaller flash hole, They do seem to be of good quality.    Jedman
