Now why didn't that occur to me; we must have a hundred or so pounds of carded wool from our flock of Shetlands in the attic - I'm 'WAAY behind on my spinning! (See my photo on the CASTPICS "Rogues' Gallery").

Ah Rick make me not repick that sore.
But as enquiring minds must know I shall precis the story, which I'm sure you are aware of.
I was in on the BMF group buy for 200 .577" Snider and 200 .577"/.450" Martini brass, not an insubstantial investment.
It was a complete disaster, the Martini brass was unfinished at the base, had burrs, and was over size none of it would fit in any of my Martinis.
The Snider brass has off centre primer pockets and eliptical bases/rims so the wouldn't fit or sit straight in the shellholder press.
We were dumped with a bunch of seconds and rejects.
OK so mistakes happen and if they are put right then there is no problem, but this where Jamison became an untrustworthy and disreputable company, they refused to acknowledge or do anything to put the "mistake"right.
Most people had the same problems, some guys managed to fix it by filing and turning and some had rifles with generous chambers and the Martini brass fitted.
Me I weighed my brass in for scrap as I thought if the stuff was that much out of specification I was not going to trust in it loaded even if I could the crap to reload/chamber.
As a footnote Jamison appear now to be trying to make some ammends, however over a year down the line this is just not good enough.
I will never trust or buy from Jamison again and I look forward to their bankrupcy.
