Anybody have an experience or info on Sig Sauer brass? I see Cabelas.ca is carrying it now in a few cartridges.

I've used it for .243 Win. I can't speak to longevity, but my brass was very uniform in weight and O.A.L.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've had very good results with Sig brass in 243 and 208 Winchester. The necks have been quite uniform which makes it easy to assemble straight cartridges.

Recently started using Lapua in one of my 22-250's and have not seen much of a difference, except the Lapua is prepped better out of the box. The 308 win Sig Sauer brass I've used is great stuff too. If I found it in different chamberings, I'd snag it without hesitation. I believe I also bought the Sig brass I have at Cabela's. The brass also seems to hold up well to multiple firings. Like I said earlier, excellent stuff...

I would check Sigs website. Lot of times if they have the brass you need in stock the price is competitive. Really nice brass for the price. It’s mixed in with the ammo. https://www.sigsauer.com/ammunition.html?product_list_limit=all

I like it. I’ve used it in .308, .30-06, .260 Rem and .300 WM to date. So far so good.

I use it in my 6.5 cm. Brass life has been excellent, low es/sd and great accuracy. Like all my other brass I’ve annealed it every 3 firings.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Almost exclusively what I've used for 300 Blackout, and it's good stuff. Loaded a lot of them 8-10 times and haven't split a case or blown a primer pocket loose yet, and I don't anneal.

Had a weird issue with it in my husqvarna 30-06. If I have rounds in the magazine, it won’t eject the fired brass. Just pulls it about halfway out the chamber then drops it. Ejects the last round just fine. No issues with Win, r-p, or federal brass. Same result with new and 1x brass. The gun is fairly new to me, so I have not spent time yet figuring it out beyond “hey this is weird and only with sig brass”.

I'd be suspect of the extractor myself. I'd also do some measuring to verify if it is indeed the brass causing the issue. Likely it is a rifle issue.
