It's made by Winchester.

If you're unfamiliar with WIN brass, lots of people like it because it's very uniform. Also, the thinner hardy brass lets you load a hotter top-end round.

Winchester made brass, BHA headstamp.

IIRC,the primer pockets were crimped on the ones that I had. So if you don't have a swager then I would consider it not good brass to reload.

texasleftychef speaks truth.
I had 500 pieces of BHA brass to work with on my inaugural (first attempt) batch of reloads. Primers wouldn't go in no way, no how. I thought I had a defective RCBS hand primer.

I ordered the RCBS pocket swager and plowed my way thru all 500 cases. I'm glad I did, because it's working out pretty good on my .308 reloads.

Even so, I still find that the CCI BR2 primers are easier to insert than Fed 210M's. Maybe it's just me.

Not just you. In my experience, inserting CCI primers in BHA brass has been much easier than inserting the 210Ms.
