Jamison: 500 NE and .505 Gibbs Production

Headsup: The old BELL machinery is owned and now operated by Jamison International.

They interrupted the .505 Gibbs run to make some .500 NE, owner Marc Jamison said.

I am still waiting on the .505 Gibbs order, and would like to notify Mr. Jamison that I have received it.

... soon. He said he has shipped some, and mine is coming. They don't cash your check until they are ready to ship.

That is nice to know. I talked to him right after he bought the machines. He indicated that he wasn't going to go into the Nitro Express brass making business. It would be nice to have a supply of 450/400 3 inch brass.

Well, that way I could quit hording the 300 new cases I have.

RIP,

Thanks for any info you find and if only to put the idea (possibility) in his head for other NE calibers.

Do you know if the .500 NE is 3" or 3 1/4" cases?

Hey y'all,
Marc Jamison says he is going to be offering the various Nitro Express, etc., like BELL used to do.

He is going to be making it "right." You know, as in "the right stuff."

The .500 NE brass that he is making now is the 3-inch variety.

Expect more offerings from Jamison International as time goes by.

RIP,

It's great that he has the machinery, but does he have the same source as MAST did for the raw material, that is, the brass? As we all know, the right alloy is the key.

Yes he has a supply of proper brass slugs, just
like the same quality he makes the high
pressure Chey-tac cases from.And when he gets a rolling along, we may be able to get more
varieties, in what we big bore shooters
need, and volumne from him, compared to others, as long as he stays away from huge
gov jobs which can tie up all of his
output.Ed.
