I recently examined an empty case that read as follows 577 Nitro Express 3" BCCC. What does the BCCC stand for? | ||

I think it's likely Bertram. Rich | |||

Just checked out the list of custom headstamps made by Bertram , but I haven't found the "B CCC" one . According to me , this sounds like a cartridge collector club abbreviation ( custom - made by Bertram or another factory) | |||

I've got dozens of BCCC that came with my .600 and I shoot them often. I am lost as to the maker.

If there is not a kangaroo also on there it is most likey Bell Cartrige Case Company | |||

If its "old" and made by BELL it would have a B.E.L.L h/s for Brass Extrusion Laboratories Limited. I doubt its a Bertram product - his headstamps are distinctive in style , usually have a kangaroo or two , and usually look like they were struck with ten times more force than was needed to mark the case. Bound to be someone who does know , though ... ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||
