I have seen this stuff too! looks like its just like wolf's ammo. tula is the same thing. I have used wolf and tula but never this stuff since its normally a $1 or $2 more. I would google search for some reviews. maybe even look on youtube? of course your experience may be different so I would recommend buying 50-100 rounds before going nuts and getting 2k or more because it may be cheap.

As I recall Herter's ammo is Russian made, steel cased, and unreloadable.

It's russian made ammo that is supposedly the exact same specs as wolf. I just finished 1000 rounds of 9mm through my G19, most of which were shot in a handgun course, and didn't have a single hiccup.

As long as your pistol isn't finicky (like your everyday polymer pistol) buy with confidence.

I shot about 300 rnds during a 1 day pistol course and it worked just fine. When we all were done and policing up the brass (or steel cases in my case..) I noticed that a few had big splits along the center of the cases, with burn marks coming out of them. Not good, but they fired just fine. Weapon was a springfield XD45.

yeah def. not good! kind of scary to think about that happening. glad to hear nothing happened to you or your firearm. did you notice your XD more gunked up then normal?

[m1a1driver]

yes. I noticed that there was a considerable buildup of greyish material in the chamber. came out with a lot of scrubbing. I assume this could be the polymer coating melting off?

Herter's = repackaged Russian (Wolf) ammo for Cabela retail chain.

Thanks. Any issues with steel cased ammo in SIGs or modern 1911's?

Seems to depend on who you ask. Most local ranges around here wont let you shoot wolf or almost any other steel case russian made ammo for the reasons stated earlier, cases splitting and to many other problems. Personally, I wouldnt shoot it out of my 1911s.

I read some where Cabelas bought the HERTERS name and will be applying it to many things in order to promote new sales Herters was a common supplier back in the day.

as long as it goes BANG, that what important...

Steel cased .45 ran fine thru my Kimber, but had a ***** of a time feeding it through my Sig P220 R - couldn't load the mags without a huge hassle, and never could get more than 5 rounds in.

Probably works as well as Wolf.

Most indoor ranges and some outdoor ranges do not allow steel case ammo.

Interestingly enough, I just finished rolling up a batch of 9mm's, and I noticed that one of the cases was Brass Herter's case. It wasn't Berdan primed, and loaded up just fine. I didn't notice it until after I rolled it.

I had never heard of this brand until I saw it advertised in Cabelas?
