brass help
#123172 - 06/01/09 11:18 PM

Hi everyone,
i´m in need of some help.
i´m about to start work on a big bore rifle,
i just can´t decide weather to make it a .505 Gibbs or a .500 Jeffery.
there is also the possibility of making it a .510 Gibbs (same bullets as the jeffery)

where is a good place to buy empty brass for it?
seeing that it´s one of the most expensive components

Norma? Thay are not the cheapest but they do make the brass. There is also horneber in germany, the export rule in usa makes it a bit difficult trafficing brass nowdays,

They sell them loaded so they should be able to sell you the brass. I bought a bunch of 45-120 brass of them a couple of years ago and they still dont have them on their web.

Ask if not your dealer could give them a ring, if avaiable they will sell them to him.
