Hallo Folks

Yesterday I spoke with Wolfgang Romey in Germany regarding some ammo. And he is now making 500 jeffery with the original angel to 500 Jeffery CIP specifications. This is due to the problems that many 500 jeffery owners in europe has had/ are having. Westley Richards have as I had problems with ammo from Kynoch (sticky extraction) this was according to Wolgang Romey due to to hoot loads ?
Mr Romey are now producing the original 500 Jeffery for Westley richards and not the hybrid that he is so famous for
The first batch will be with 12,7X70 Sch�ler headstamp.
I was furthermore told that the new Mauser magnum from Mauser (SIG) in cal. .500 Jeffery is in fact a 12,7X70 Sch�ler Nice going
I will hopefully get my Wolfgang Romey .500 Jeffery in the near future and test them.
Theese bullets are a compensation for the 12,7X70 Sch�ler that he first send me. They worked fine but where stiff to chamber. I shoot all 120 and are planning to reload them with woodleigh 535 grn and Barnes XLC 570 grn.

Here is a picture of my Heym Express .500 Jeffery I still have problems with it and the last batch that I got from Kynamco (that where double checked) had two duds out of five shoots, I think this is due to the fact that the firing pin does not hit center.
I will contact Heym on this matter. For the fourth time.

All input is welcome

Cheers,

Andr�

You know that Horneber is makeing brass for the 500 Jefferys and I suspect you can buy direct from him..I know that Rhimer Johannson handled it for awhile and I think that Jagdwaffen Fuchs also handled it in loaded form..It is excellent brass, I don't know about the loaded ammo...

Ray,
You don't have a contact number or address for Horneber, do you? I need some for the 500 Jeff.

Try to reach Dieter Horneber under DHorneber@aol.com or his phone number +49 911 7530607 in Germany.
By the way, Wolfgang Romey use for most cartridges Horneber brass

Thank you Ray and Robert

I guess that the ammo from Wolfgang Romey is made with Herneber brass ?
I am going to the shooting range tomorrow to try the Kynamco ammo again., I will shoot as many as i can. To se how many duds there are. And then based on that take contact to Heym.
I will post the result tomorrow.


Cheers,

Andr�
