I scored 4 boxes of Herters 6.5 x 55 brass at a local gun show. It says “Made in Sweden." Does anyone KNOW who made it? Ii would tell you how much I paid but I do not like to see grown men cry. To be used in my Swede rifles. Many thanks Sherlock With cast bullets and Trail Boss powder

A family of elves, cousins of the Keeblers, living in a forest 200km north of Stockholm made Herter's brass. They worked only by the light of full moons, in workshops made of twigs and ferns. No one ever saw them- they would stack the brass out by the highway for pickup in the morning by George L. Herter's trucks. You know, the ones that said “World's Best” on the license plates.

I too was wondering who made Herter's brass. A while back I snagged 5 boxes of Herter's 7x57 and it too says MADE IN SWEDEN on the boxes. Spent a few hours trying find out who made it but as has already been said Norma is the only maker in Sweden. At least that was all I could find out. Seems to be good stuff but until I load some and shoot it, I'll withhold and judgement.Paul B.

I have Herter's brass that says “Made in Sweden” and some that says “Made in Finland"

My supply of Herter '06 brass is finally getting pretty low, and I wish it were still available. I agree with Ric, it was always my understanding that Norma made Herter's brass. Consider yourself VERY lucky! In my experience it was good stuff, very uniform, and long lasting (with decent treatment).
I'm jealous!

The only brass maker in Sweden is Norma, as far as I have ever heard.
