Title: What's this headstamp?
Post by: Grendel on April 26, 2019, 01:15:06 AM

Got a bunch of these from the range. Looks a bit like Browning's mark. Any good?

You should put that one away for your collection.

It's worth a buck !   ::)

Hahaha, that's funny. The only Browning brass I have is black nickel plated. Otherwise, I'd never have recognized the logo. I don't blame Grendel for asking

The Browning Buckmark fools a lot of people, since they look at it at the wrong angle.  I've been getting a lot of it in .45 acp and other calibers from the brass I buy from our club.

Hope this helps.

I recently found some and was going to ask about it. Even took a pic, then promptly forgot. I was guessing it was from the Middle East. Another quarter turn and I might of figured it out.  :P

You are missing the point.  Is it good brass?

It's Browning and is good to go for reloading....

Thanks!

Browning branding doesn't mean as much as it used to, it seems...
