Thread: Sako brass quality??

Given up on finding some Lapua 222 brass anytime soon so did find some Sako that I’ve purchased. Anyone got some experience with Sako brass - good or bad?

Supposed to be very, very good. I use it

Yup - top quality gear.

This is good to hear. Hopefully have some once fired 270 coming my way soon and also found some new for $150/100. Wasn’t sure if this was a good price or not so held off at this stage but probably a mistake. Don’t desperately need it but who knows what the future holds.

Yup, i use it in my 308 as well as my 22 250AI all good so far. Only had one split in the AI after 3 firings but thats to be expected with AI stuff. 308 on 7 firings and still good as new

Interesting. I've always found Norma brass soft and primer pockets often fail
The brass itself is very uniform but... not for me anymore.

The Norma brass around in the 1970's was rock hard and the 100gr pill in the 243 was just damn too hard. Concrete is a better word to describe Norma.The opposite end of the spectrum is Hornady. That is garbage brass.
