Just confirmed that after selling off current inventory they are shutting down.

Sorry to hear that!
 
:(
 
Not good news :(
 
At this stage I'm not sure if the issue is anything to do with Bertram Brass Co (the manufacturer in Australia) or just Bertram Brass USA who are just a US distributor. I've sent an email to Bertram (Australia) and hope to get some clarification.

This apply to US sales only.

I noticed a bunch of new brass from Norma for really odd calibers on the shelves here in SA, my 404J included. I immediately thought of Bertram. Your headline caught me out tho.
 
Bertram Brass Co (the Australian manufacturer of Bertram Brass) confirm they are still in business and manufacturing brass as per normal. The 'closure' only relates to the US distributor.
More for me in OZ
 
Someone else will pick it up, hopefully raven rock,…get Woodleigh back on track through raven rock and we’ll be in good shape.
 
@PerH
Tell Jabbar Mollah that he better source every last available piece of brass he can for his .425 Westley Richards. If he knows what’s good for him.
I will do that , but it say this is for the US importer closing further up . But one never knows . I will look up other options also .
 
Have 100 x 404 Jeff on order......
 
I have been talking to Bruce. We are going to do a pre-order / import pretty soon. I was actually going to work on that later today.

375 Ruger will be on the list.

We have norma 404 Jeffery on the way. Sweden takes off quite a bit of time in the summer so some of the norma shipments are delayed.

As far as Woodleigh, Geoff sent me his list. He still needs to finish up .358 and .338. We'll import after that. I know some folks want is yesterday, but it's expensive to ship it over here and waiting on those two calibers makes sense from a business stand point.

In the meantime, I expect a little Norma 458 Lott and a little 458 Win in about a month. We have a few new things planned for the next couple of weeks as well.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
