Jamison Brass
Have any of you used it? If so, would you recommend it?

Thanks,

I use it for my 500 Jeffery. It's been absolutely great.

I've used .450 N.E. 3 1/4". It is excellent.

.577-3" is just great. No problems at all.

IMHO, Jamison makes the best brass out there. And, he doesn't think that shiny stuff is gold, either.

505 Gibbs is great too. We are fortunate indeed.

Hate to be the naysayer, but I've used it in 2 calibers and both were terrible.

45 Colt and 416 Rigby. In both, the rim dimensions were oversized and the cases wouldn't fit into the shell holders. The Colts were too wide and the Rigby's were too thick.

In both instances it was the only brand I could find at the time and came with the usual cost premium (compared to Winchester, Hornady, Starline, etc)

To be fair, the problem wasn't with all the cases... it was only just over half.

I won't be buying Jamison again. But I will admit they make many of the rarer calibers which is certainly worth something.

I use Jamison .505 Gibbs and 470 Mbogo. It is excellent.

Sour grapes I have heard of were just with new startup batches.
Growing pains.
Like the too-thick .416 Rigby rims: Yep, they took it back and made good on subsequent batches.

I wish he would do a run of 10.75x68 brass. Huntingtons does not import Horneber at present and Bertram is too soft.

I ordered some brass from them about a month ago. They were having some mechanical problems. Hopefully will be fixed soon but has delayed some production.

The .577 Snider is too small for the proper .590 bullet.


There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

My own experience with 600OK and 585AHR has been good.
