Jeffe--Are the 505 going to be formed and trimmed case.
I need a few 505 basic straight long cases.As long as possible.Ed.

Ed,

If i can speak for Jeffe, the brass will be formed and nicely trimmed. The 416 rigby Horneber brass i got previously is simply beautiful stuff! Trimmed and beveled!

BTW, the 505 Horneber brass weighs about 10% more than Bertram and the length is 3.142"

Steve-Nice to hear someone(Deiter) cares enough to make exceptional brass.You being a 505 man do you know where any 505 straight basic long cases can be found? Ed.

Ed, if nothing else works out you can try to get some .408 Chey-Tac brass picked off the line before it gets through the final forming steps.

I tried that maybe two years ago (I was after .505 Gibbs brass. .408 Chey-Tac is necked down HD .505 Gibbs brass), getting the e-mail address for the .408 Chey-Tac maker off the Long Range Shooting forum, but he said only finished brass was available. That might have changed.

Ed,

Don't know of any. sorry, i been having my hands full with just the regular gibbs. It is possible to use the softer Bertram and somehow re-form to straight?
