Just for clarification, the NT (as PeeJay has mentioned) is for Nammo Tactical. Nammo (Nordic Ammunition) is actually the parent company that owns Lapua . . . along with several other major manufacturers you'd be familiar with. Some years back, they purchased Talley Defense Systems in Mesa, AZ, and installed a full small caliber loading operation to serve US government contracts. The NT headstamp merely differentiates the ammunition that is loaded here in the Mesa facility from that which is loaded in Finland. The brass, however, all comes directly from the Lapua plant in Lapua, Finland. Same machinery, same specs, same material, same operators. The components are shipped here to be assembled in the US, making it a US product. Same sutff, exactly, just assembled in different parts of the world.
The once-fired stuff that Graf's has is the fired cases that result from our normal QC accuracy firing. You'd be surprised just how much brass can be generated in this manner when it's not being reloaded. At any rate, it's once fired brass, used with standard, factory loadings, and fired in Match chambers out of a machine rest in our 300 Meter accuracy tunnel. If you guys have any other questions, don't hesitate to give me a shout, not a problem. Headed off to Germany tomorrow, so I may be a little tough to get hold of for a day or two, but I'll check by from time to time. Wonderful thing, the internet. Really doesn't much matter where you are, there it is!
