Haha! The hyperbole of George Lenard Herter was the best! The ammo was purportedly made by Norma back in the heyday of Herter's mailorder business. Some have denied that but I'm convinced it was. Quality was very good, like you would expect of Norma stuff. Heck, I'm still using some Herter's brass from 50-60 years ago.
That's as far as the hype goes though. I never ever got what you would call "match" accuracy with any type of Herter's bullets - not the wasp waist or the banana peel or any other. They simply shot poorly, at least for me. Today their value lies mainly in "collectability" so make of that what you will.
Google Herter's for a thorough recap. There's not enough space here to describe who they were and what they sold. Then there's G.L.Herter's bombastic claims for every single one of his products, although some of his stuff was pretty good and his big thick catalog was better than the Sear's Christmas Catalog to a gun-nut kid in the 1960's.
