500 Jeffery based wildcats

[Deleted member 46119]

I was interested in building one, got the big action, barrel and prepared to go forward but...

proprietary?

Put the brakes on until I understand more..

Bruce Bertram got back to me and his minimum production run is 10,000 pcs of brass !
basically $30k ($3.00 a pc)
this is less than half price of Bertram 500 Jeffery brass at Midway.....

this will be properly formed & headstamped brass, no custom case forming dies, necking down and fireforming, load and shoot at less than half the cost of the parent case ..... can be legally used in countries requiring headstamp match the chamber in rifle .....
if we get enough guys to jump on board or someone willing to finance this production run we can get this going .....

I don't know why my response was a thread killer?

If I can get Swaplord's blessings to order a reamer then I'm in for the bulk purchase.

Mr. Seaman

proprietary basically means you rent the reamers from me to chamber a barrel,
this is a wildcat reamer rental business I am establishing, have 20 wildcats I developed and a few more on the way, (attempting to provide factory made brass) but at this point , later this summer will start offering "cow" formed brass for several wildcats ....
reamers will be provided with load data generated with my guns chambered with the same reamers you choose, since I am barred by LRH from providing much more info , you can contact me by pm for details ....

Thank you for the business like reply.

I'll go with my own design.

Sorry I won't be able to back or participate in you brass run.

All the best

Sorry to hear that you won't be participating in the run of brass, If you had contacted me by pm as I requested , you would have been pleased with the results from new developements , no big deal though we will see what the shot show will bring !!

Good luck with your wildcat, necking down the .510 neck on the big Jeff takes some good effort, patience and a box full of expensive case forming dies . 500 Jeffery brass is $$ at Midway but we will be getting it fully formed ready to load at half the cost ...

PT&G gets a ton of calls requesting my reamers and I had a discussion with Dave Kiff recently and he urged me to release the proprietary hold on my reamers so they can get into the hands of gunsmiths all over the country, I made a few calls to several shops and got the same results,
I made the decision and PT&G will make reamers on my wildcats for anyone who wants them..

I missed the PM part. My bad.

As for releasing the reamers, total game changer.

PM inbound.

I have pm' him twice with no response. I was interested in a bulk purchas at first as well, as this would go well with my custom action I have ordered. I'm starting to loose interest.

I have no earthly need for it, but for some reason I still want a .375 Mjolnir so bad!

Did you have problems with the cartridge fitting in the magazine. As I had to do some modifying for my lazzeroni warbird to load.

 

[trueblue]

Would be interested in details on the 7 LRH ?

...
Rifle is completed...
currently cow banging brass and hoping to go out and do some shooting, the sub zero temps seem to have passed for now, looking at 20 30 F this week, good shooting weather !

The KRG Whiskey 3 chassis use AICS cip mags and I had to slightly modify the ribs on the inside of the mags by removing enough material so loaded rounds run with no problems... it was a very small amount removed just so cartridges don't have any binding.... the 500 Jeffery parent case was used as a guide to clear the mags but is almost a straight walled case , I added more taper to my wildcats for flawless extraction of a fired case and it helps the cartridges work in the mags with zero issues ...

.375 Executioner is in progress...

So how is it going?
