.357 Mag Brass ID

[avogunner]

I was given a bag of .357 Max once fired from a non-reloading friend. Besides the typical head stamps (R-P, Federal, etc.), most of the brass was stamped 'G.F.L' and 'Top Brass'. Would anybody know who manufactures these and/or the quality of those brands?
Thanks

Thanks for that link! Outstanding.

G.F.L. is Fiocchi, and Top Brass was made by Dan Scharch, back when he and Kay owned the company. Dan was a machinist by trade, and the flash holes in his brass were precisely formed, rather than punched.

Hope this helps.
