By Herter's, do you mean old Herter's or new Herter's? Up until a year or so ago, the brass cased Herter's was made by S&B. Now it is made by Winchester.


Not sure what old vs. new means, but surely not original.


Someone else, unknown, is now using the Herter's name, probably without a license since that expired long ago.

Herter's is used by Cabela's as the name for their house brand ammo (among other things). Brass cased Herter's handgun ammunition was made by S&B (and said so right on the box) up until very recently, when that changed to Winchester as the manufacturer.

Steel cased rifle ammo was sourced from Russia and shotgun shells were Italian. Haven't looked recently to see if that is still true.
Talk is the shotgun ammo is Winchester,as well.

For European pistols, feed them European 7.65 Br instead of US .32 Auto. There are small difference in the dimensions of the rim and extractor groove.

This is good to know!

Added Complication

I shoot only only Fiocchi "red" box. The packaging states Made in Italy. 7,65 Browning gets top billing.


It appears Fiocchi also has USA made version, "blue" box. It is labeled .32ACP first.

This proves nothing except that most of the American audience knows the cartridge as "32ACP", while the European audience knows it as "7.65".

The most important part of addressing ANY audience is to speak their language.

either box color of the Fiocchi is fine

Of the pistols I own, the Walther PP and the FEG Walther-clone don't like American .32 ACP (Federal/American Eagle), but everything has been fine with Fiocchi 7.65/.32 ammo.
