I have some 380 brass with a weird headstamps, just squiggles, kind of look like a deer rack if you squint the right way.
I tried to take some pics, but it doesn't really show up well.

I have seen this headstamps before on some black colored cases in various calibers, but not in brass until this latest batch.

Any ideas who make this and is it any good?

I am culling it for now, when I have enough segregated I will load some up and try it.

Don't quote me on this, but I thought I read in the last Guns & Ammo that the cases weren't made to be reloadable. It was either G&A or the NRA magazine.

The black ones or the regular brass?

I think what you saw about non re-loadable was shotgun shells.

Could be, there's been a lot on my mind as of late.

The Browning brass is re loadable. The black ones are black nickel plated brass. Found some in 45 Auto a while back and asked the guy I traded them to if he would let me know. He said he loved them. Re loaded well and shot very well.
