SIG, Sako, and Barnes brass?

[rkm456]

I've come across some of this in my travels. Anyone have any info on it? Similarly does anyone know who makes SIG or Sako brass?

Barnes is Remington. I'd to know what the Sako stuff is myself; picked up 4
boxes of 338 Win yesterday at 49 bucks a box, Cabelas had them yellow tagged.

Because it's made in Finland I've heard some suspicion that it's Lapua who makes Sako's brass.

The only problem with odd or harder to get brass is you can never get enough to make it worth reloading.

Meaning I prefer large batches from the same lot, so that leaves the larger brands.

My 2 cents

I suppose it depends on the quantity you're reloading. Personally I tend to reload in smaller batches.

Lapua does not make SAKO brass - don't they make their own?

Maybe Norma?

It's certainly possible. I haven't been able to find a lot of info one way or the other.
