Does Wolfgang Romey have a website for their ammo?

I looked and search and could not find one. If anyone knows please post. Thanks.

NitroX,

www.wrammunition.com

Note that the above web address is listed as "under construction."

Some other info found, but not sure if it's helpful, is at:

www.johannsen-jagd.de/seite100.pdf

Also, I have found the following:

RSD Wolfgang Romey

Fax: (02 11) 475 59 83

And an e-mail address of:

Not sure how much of this info, if any, will be helpful to you. Good luck!

Regards,

"Lightning Twice"

NitroX:

Are you inquiring in regard to ammunition for your Jeffery? If so, the rifle ammunition line that Westley Richards sells is loaded by Romey. You might check with them.

You might want to approach this stuff with a little caution. The Romey stuff has a reputation for being overloaded. My only experience with it was very bad and I'll never use it again. The brass is OK, but not great, but it is better than Bertram.

Some years ago I ordered twenty rounds of it in .400/.360 NE, mostly out of curiousity. Standard ballistics for this round are a 300 grain .366 bullet at 1950 fps. As no one makes a 300 grain 9.3 bullet, the Romey ammo comes loaded with 285 grain RWS softs and solids. Before firing the Romey, I chronographed a half dozen rounds of my handloads, all of which read normally. The first round of the Romey chronographed 2300 fps. Presuming that this was an anomalous reading, I went ahead and fired the left. Bad mistake - the left clocked 2310. Fifteen grains less bullet weight ain't enough to matter and 350 fps over standard external ballistics is a dangerous overload, so I quit. The gun was very hard to open and cross-fired badly at 50 yards, which it never does with a normal load. I had it checked out and it wasn't damaged but it still has had two extra purple-stripe proof loads through it and I'm not happy about that. Westley was unresponsive.

It IS possible that this was an isolated problem peculiar to that caliber, but I've heard similar reports from others with different calibers. If you try it, begin shooting over a chronograph and if you get high readings, stop. Any double rifle worth paying money for is a treasure and convenience is not worth a sprung action.

You might try the new Kynoch. I've found it to be fairly decent ammo.

400NE

No I was mainly looking just to put a link up on the website for him.

Also for the .500/.416 ballistics which I found on the Krieghof website.

I can't afford factory ammo for a NE calibre. I would have bought 5 or so just to shoot it first off though.

Thanks for the info and links
