The Browning brass is probably equal to the brass marked Remington or Winchester but there is no reason it would be worth more. My guess that the Browning ammunition and the Browing marked brass is made by Remington, Federal, or Winchester on contract for Browning the same way a large manufacturer makes any number of "store brands". Instead of every company building their own factory they have a big canning company put out beans, tomatoes, & corn in their own store label. I am sure the same thing happens with ammunition.

I am of the opinion that Winchester made the Browning rifle ammunition. I know that the 338 Winchester Magnum with Browning head stamp was loaded with Winchester Power Point bullets in the 200 grain variety. The Browning revolver head stamp seemed to be from the same font as the W-W of the same age, R-P was slightly different in appearance, it seems to me. Must be 30 years ago.

Olin in Illinois produced a lot of brass with different headstamps.
I used to buy primer and etc. test brass from the plant and there would be Spanish headstamps as well as S&W and others.
Probably the old lowest bidder situation so could be any of a number producers.

I have some Browning .44 Magnum brass. I don't remember whether I bought it as brass or as loaded ammo back in the 70s. I still have and use it. I've lost a couple due to splitting over the years, but it's held up as well or better than some of the other brands I've had. Don't have any idea how many thimes they've been reloaded.
