Betram Brass Options - Feedback Requested

[RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION]

Bruce said I could share this list of calibers his company produces. He obviously makes some esoteric stuff - it's not all in stock, but it's possible to manufacture. Is there anything on this list that you'd really like to get your hands on? I told Bruce I'd let him know which calibers get the most feedback as well.

I would take some 6.5 WSM just to have headstamped correct brass.

375 Ruger is always hard to find new
416 Ruger is not even on his list?

450/400” 3” for when I decided to buy one!

 

[318AE]

Esoteric? Shame on you!

318 WR, 333 rimless, anything that ends “nitro express”. Is the 280 fl and 280 Ross or something else? That is usually considered “semi-rimmed”

 

[Ridge Runner]

Not on his list that I need:

44-40
32-20
22 Hornet

I'll have to check my inventory could possibly use 45-70 brass.

Can you verify if it is 38-56 brass or a typo and 38-55 brass?

 

[Lance Hopper]

45-120
10.75x68

And if the 8x50R is Austrian, that too

Hey Bill @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION ,

Would you inquire if Betram would make any brass for the Dakota cartridges?
What little that is available is going for $8 to $10 a piece for new brass and $5 for once fired. That is if one can find it!

22 Hornet will be here hopefully next month. For something like 45-70, it makes more sense for me to source it domestically-- I've been waiting on a dealer order from Starline for probably over a year. Without getting too much into Bertram pricing, it'll still be at a premium. I don't know the owner of Bertram USA, and I don't know what he used to pay, but if his numbers are close to mine, what he charges are fair prices in my opinion (based on some roughly calculated landed costs).

I can ask for sure. Was that a Quality Cartridge headstamp, Mark?

375 2 1/2

I do not know who made the brass for Dakota Arms...
I am not an expert on Dakota Arms rifles and brass but I know of three different headstamps:

Dakota Arms - small headstamps

Dakota Arms - large headstamps (from @Esoteric Junkie photo... Thanks!)

I copied this photo of Qual-Cart brass from the Internet.
