Brass ID help? .338 Lapua Mag

[High Binder]

Hey guys is this factory Lapua brass that's also been stamped with HSM or is it made by some other company specifically for HSM?

Hunting Shack Manufacturing I think the 'M' is.

Could be Norma, could be Lapua, could have been Jamison and now Hornady.

You can always call/email them and ask them who makes their brass.

definitely not lapua or hornady - the way the rim is formed is distinctly different

I have a new box of their ammo. I dont know who makes their brass but the rounds are marked by HS Munitions, Inc. Stevensville , Montana.

Thanks guys, anyone else have any ideas.

Does anyone have any experience reloading these? Any good (life expectancy)?

It would appear to be made by Bertram. Reference http://store.iqmetals.com/338lapuabrasshsmheadstamp.aspx

As near as I can tell the stamping is identical to what you show in your picture.
