Thread: Bertram brass

Any thoughts good/bad ? Whats the quality like ? . Thanks Wayno

Every thing I have read and heard is that it is good quality. I have hunted with Bruce's son Dave many years back and we visited him and viewed the factory in Seymour Victoria.
Very interesting, got to shoot a 450 3 inch single shot rifle in there under ground range at the factory.

In 416 Rigby when I was loading some years back it was generally considered the lowest quality of all available options. I have some loaded for practice but use Norma for hunting.

He's a character alright. Ive been there twice now, he gave me and the lads a tour of the factory and let us have a walk around his trophy rooms in the house which was cool. He didn't mention the underground range though! I suspect he didnt want us all to ask for a shoot haha. While I was there he gave me some bags of brass and I paid him with a team challenge coin and a bottle of whiskey on a later visit.
Im still yet to actually use the brass though..

I rang to order some brass. The office lady said we dont take cards get an $A100 note and post it with your order.

Bruce told me 2 yrs ago they were unable to post to NZ due to Australia Post restrictions.. has this changed? Are they happy to post to NZ now?

It was a few years ago but they arrived ok.

No prob with permit for this end if you dont mind me asking?

I have seen Bertram brass in Gun City and you can also buy it from Dead Eye Dicks rather than have to import direct

Ahh right. I might make inquiries anyway and see what I can get.

I've avoided that because of their prices. If I can't get it direct I'll give it a miss..
