I was given some Winchester brass for the Krag marked "super speed 30 ARMY" I wonder how old it is. When did Winchester stop marking Krag brass this way?

That might be the attempt the us army made to match be ballistics of the 7×57mm Mauser

Your Krag brass headstamped Super Speed .30 Army may be pre-WW2.

1950s Postwar Winchester brass I have is headstamped WRA .30-40 Krag

I have 1955 / 1956 ammunition hearstamped the same. I think Super Speed was a marketing statement by Winchester.

That came in a wide variety of names!!! Pre-1903 it was 30 Government, 30 Army, 30 USA, 30US, and of course 30-40 Krag later on. I have a whole pile of differently headstamped brass somewhere.....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210328/1ae3dd6b363fb9ed9b39a51f1ec2c36e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210328/887c6711f411368d70323f8750858dbf.jpg
