Does anyone have experience with brass from this maker? I'm about to order some 30R Blaser cases and trying to decide between RWS and them. The price is about the same.

They have a good selection of brass for the less common calibres. For some chamberings, they offer sorted lots weighted to within 1 grain.

 
Thanks for posting your question. I can't help since I know nothing about them, but it's good to learn of another source of rare and difficult to find cartridge cases.

We're considering importing it to the US as an option for some harder to find calibers... Did you end up trying it?
 
It’s decent brass, very consistent.

Yes, I am using shm brass in different calibers like 8x64S, 8x57 and .375 H&H...

You can order "selection" brass which is +/- 1 grain in weight.

Very good quality and very good customer service.
 
I spoke with them last year and they mentioned they are in discussions with a US distributor. Can’t remember if it was RRP or someone else.
I was looking for 9.3x64 brass.
 
If it's almost as good as RWS brass, it's excellent!:love:
I cant get enthused about RWS brass. When I have used it, ( Only in 8X68) the case need annealing before use or a few would develop neck split on firing. Probably about 10%. an expensive lesson for me.

I’ve used RWS brass in a few calibers and never had a problem with it. No split necks either.
I do anneal all my brass before I load it the first time, so it’s no extra work for me.

The biggest surprise I got with RWS brass, was when I decided to weight sort 100X once fired 30-06 cases.
They were all within less than 1.5gr!
I then used 20 random cases to check water capacity and there was less than a grain difference.

In 30-06, the RWS does have less case capacity than my usual Norma brass.
Top end 165gr loads usually run at the same velocity, but with a bit less powder.
RWS = 57.0gr for 2900fps
Norma = 59.8gr for 2900fps

I’ve seen much bigger internal variations in Lapua, Norma, ADG and Peterson brass.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
