Jamison 450 #2 Brass Available

For those that have been looking for 450 #2 brass, Jamison now has it available. I just received my order for 420 pieces - looks like very nice brass. I have not loaded it or fired any of it yet, but the dimensions are good and it fits nicely in my chambers.

The retail price is $3.84 each (yeah, that's a lot higher than we all had hoped and more expensive than the 450-3 1/4", but it's available). That comes to $76.80/20 - it's expensive, but still cheaper than other options.

Ellis, that brass is the 450 3 1/4" and not the 450#2 which is 3.5 in. A rimmed case and straight wall...

No, it is 450 #2! Bottle neck case, 3.5" long, and .74" thick rim. I have built several 450-3/14" (3.25" straight taper case, and .040" rim) NE double rifles and have a lot of that brass as well. This IS 450 #2! I know what I am talking about.

I ordered my 450 #2 directly from Jamison. I have been in communication with them for over a year about this brass and they sent me 3 prototype pieces of brass to check out for them - they measured and looked great. As far as I know, we received the first 450 #2 off the press. I think they said they were doing a production run of 10,000 pieces, but don't quote that as gospel truth.

I think Jamison (Jamison International, Sturgis, SD; 605-347-5090; I spoke with Kathy) will sell to retail customers, but I am not sure. Otherwise Huntinton's in California said they were going to carry it. Possibly Midway will carry it, as well.

Thank you for the book!. It's an interesting read and I'm not even a machineist or builder.

Yes they sell retail and some of the brass is the same as other places....and some is a touch higher.
