I talked with Jack today about the 500 JRH Brass situation. He said that Starline needs to here from shooters that we are in need of the brass. So that maybe with enough people knocking on their door, they might make a run of it??
But in the mean time, they are cutting down 500 S&W brass for those that need it. The cost is $.90 a piece.

I have something like 35 cases that didn't get ruined in the fire last september, so I'll be cutting some S&W cases down after I get a new case trimmer in.

He also mentioned that they are doing 500 JRH conversions on the Marlin 1894. Now wouldn't that make an excellent little thumper.

Is it just cutting down 500 S&W brass to length or do you need to turn the rim down too?

The BFR is cut to accept the S&W rim size.
The FA guns will need the rim turned down.
