I met Bruce Bertram, nice guy, sells direct to the public, he manufactures uncommon/obselete
brass cartridges and projectiles, he has very comprehensive catalog of cases and good range of weld core
projectiles 30-577cal, I purchased some 500NE cases, work perfectly, in earlier years
quality control let him down, OK now. He is so busy business finds him.
Cheers, Yowie

yeah it was bruce that i spoke to on the phone, it would be good if we all could support this very unique business and not let it go offshore, instead of buying our cases of the likes like winchester, remington, lapua etc etc. in other words buy Australian! i can see its far far easier to buy cases in vic than trying to import them from other countries

Yowie,
No weld-cores ... just regular cup and core projectiles. Price depends on calibre as to whether they're good value, great value, or over-priced.

another thing that bruce told me is the yanks are quite content to buy cases from him at his prices no worries but aussies want everything solid gold encrusted with diamonds and rubbies and then demand it all for mates rates.
