[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 378074, member: 10"] That is very interesting, not at all the story I got about the TTI brass but no matter. I have some Bertram and TTI brass here along with the Jamison brass and some samples of some cases that were supposed to be made in germany. I have sectioned all of them to measure case head thickness and case wall thickness. All are significantly different in case head thickness and case wall thickness except the TTI and supposed german made brass. Not only that but I had them all hardness tested and the Bertram brass was the softest of the four. Jamison second softest and the TTI and Gernan brass were nearly identical. Even in case color, the TTI and German brass were nearly identical in color with nearly identical shoulder and neck annealing marks. The Jamison and Bertram brass were very unique in brass color. This was polished color, just to make sure some cases were not tarnished to effect color of brass. If Bertram made the TTI brass, they really made it alot different then their own headstamped version of the 408 CT brass. Perhaps they are willing to use different alloys and make brass with different head hardness for specific customers. If they will do that, I think I will be getting ahold of them and see what they can do. I only wish that we could get a brass maker to offer a Lapua strength 408 CT case!!! The jamison cases are decent and very functional, in fact work very well, just not the strongest in the case head is all. Personally, I do not believe in your last comment but thats just me. Unfortunately thats getting to be a pretty common opinion these days. [/QUOTE]
