Brass Deal for 500 j/505g

This is just a feeler to try and understand who might be interested in these two caliber brass, ONLY from someone other than Bertram

500 Jeffery
505 Gibbs

Parameters..
~$3 a round
How many would you COMMIT for
how long you want to wait?

.505 Gibbs. 60 cases. One year.

Jeff, I think it is a good idea to be conservative and to get people to commit at $3.00, but if this goes, I think you will do better. Didn't Robgunbuilder get .585 brass from (group order) Horneber for (gasp!) $2.00 each?

Huntington just shipped me some high quality 505 Gibbs from Horneber in Germany. I paid about $80 per 20. MAST Technology will be making 505 Gibbs brass soon, as they told they are still working on the tooling. I also got some 408 CheyTac brass just recently for around $1.50 a piece. The 408 CheyTac brass are a little shorter than the 505 Gibbs brass so you cannot use the 408 to make the 505. Since 505 Gibbs brass are easier to get than the 500 Jeffery, it would be ideal for you to make your own wildcat cartridge based on it.

jeffoso,

I'll commit to.

500 Jeffery 20 cases
505 Gibbs 20 cases

Time is not a factor for me but within a year would be good.

I'll ask around to see if anyone else in Australia want any.

If your co-ordinating it, when payment is due, I'll get you paid by someone in the US and
the cases shipped to this person.

Well, I have a small supply of Bertram, some of which seem to be workhardening after being shot a few times, while others are junk, I would definitely commit to 20 cases (500 Jeff), but if it is really good brass (Lapua quality) I would certainly commit for more. As far as the wait, I wouldn't care, I have some brass and can shoot while I wait.

I'm in for 100 cases of .500 Jeffrey as long as it is Horneber or better.

I'd be interested in 20, and would be willing to wait up to a year.
