Anyone shooting hard to find calibers, just got a flyer from Graf and Son, that they have a new bunch of brass in.

.........To add to Drink's post, don't know if it was the same flyer or not. One I got with an order lists brass from "Jamison International". My not be International, but it was Jamison something. I've never heard of the outfit myself so I can't relate anything about the brass quality or where it comes from. Maybe someone else knows more?

The interesting part was they list maybe a dozen less likely cartridges, such as 43 Spanish and 43 Mauser. Prices for those were maybe a bit less then what Graf charges for Bertram brass. What REALLY caught my eye was the 577-450 brass. They have it listed at $44 for 20! That is a steal and a half.

I paid $108/20 for my first cases from Huntington, then $88/20 dealer price from Graf & Son many years ago. That $44/20 is comparatively being given away:D If you have something in that caliber it would for sure be worth investigating.

I'll bet the Jamison brass is in reference to Rick Jamison who writes for Shooting Times. I know for a fact he has other investments for sale. He probably concocted up this round and got it named after him.

Apparently Jamison International is a spin off/successor to Bell, and is just getting going.
I emailed my local baitshop about the product, but have not gotten a response yet.
I suspect they've been suffering migraines over Bruce Bertram's quality control, and will be glad of another source of brass.
Cheers from Darkest California,

What!? Rick Jamison concocted up what round? The 577-450? Nah I don't think Rick Jamison had anything to do with that one. If he did he's sure holding his age well :D
