It was Cabela's house brand. Don't know what it is after the Bass Pro/Cabela's buy out merger thingy.
Kinda dirty, but it goes bang reliably. I think it may be re-branded S&B. Just my thought. They look very, very similar when compared side by side.
All I ever shot had a Herters headstamp. Shot fine. BTW, with questions about ammo (there was a similar question about PNC in another thread) .. is there BAD factory ammo? I can recall exactly ONE factory round that did not go bang. Of the hundred thousand (a guess because I eventually started reloading when I was shooting 10k/yr) .. I just haven’t seen any that was bad. Even the imported steel case stuff shot fine.
I've bought and shot some from Cabelas before all this ammo hoopla.. I would compare it to Winchester White Box.. Not bad, but not great either. But, right now I'd say take what you can get especially if you can get it for a reasonable price.
"Manufactured by Sellier & Bellot in the Czech Republic and sold by Sidney, Neb.-based Cabela’s, Herter’s Select Grade Brass Case ammunition is an economical alternative to the traditional, cost-conscious “bread-and-butter” offerings. Available in most mainstream rifle and handgun chamberings, as the name suggest, the line features brass cases."
Looks like at least some of their product line, if not all, is S&B made.

This is old info. The stuff they are currently selling under the Herter's Target name is WWB. Look at the packaging. It is the same oversized foam trays and then the same 200 round packaging. I can't remember what the headstamp is but I am 100% sure its WWB.
You are seeing a lot of it on the resale market because it is still available at the store level if you get there in time. It is being bought up and resold but the usual suspects.
