Default Any Good? Hansen: Yugoslav

I have been cleaning out the gun room and ran across some once fired brass 7mmRemMag cases. Made in Yugoslavia 1994 and sold by Hansen Cartridge Co. Anyone had any experience with this brand brass? Good? Junk?

Maybe I'm a bit biassed since I'm half Yugoslavian but I feel they make some quality stuff look at their SKS's for example in my opinion its the best made sks on the planet. I have shot lots of Yugo manufactured ammo and never had any problems. Just before you reload those shells besure they are not Berdan primed are you may have a big problem and wind up having to buy a new deprimer pin for your resizing die. Berdan primed cases have the 2 flash holes to the sides of the primer pockets rather then the one hole in the center.

Okay, thanks for that report. I had checked, an the cases were Boxer primed, so okay to deprime and re-prime in the usual manner. Too bad that the Yugo automobile was not as good as was their SKS! <8^)

I have had good performance form Hansen brass. I had a few boxes of it in 6.5 X 55 a few years back. Re-laoded it about 3 times....no problems at all

The Hansen ammo that I originally had was 7mmRemMag 140grSP made in the now non-existant Yugoslavia. Those cartridges shot very good groups. I have not had a 7mmRemMag since I bought those cartridges, until I recently got a really good price on a Tikka in that chambering, on GunsAmerica. I really appreciate these positive posts, concerning the Hansen brass, because when I dug out the cases, I found that I have over 100 once fired pieces that I can clean and reload. Never know what to save, but this time holding onto brass for which I had no rifle, paid off!
