Thompson Center line of ammo
« on: February 26, 2004, 12:17:27 PM »
I read today T/C is bringing out it's own name brand ammo out and will be chambering for wildcat loads like .375jdj and others..

I like this now I can buy some of the better wildcats and not have to reload for them or at least  if I buy a wildcat cal. I dont right off the bat have to buy dies,brass,and all els just to see if I like the round..pluss im not that good of a reloader anyway.. :grin:

I thought it was just 375JDJ loads and only in 220gr, not the 270?

No thanks, I would reload before I would pay that kind of money. I do not know why all the ammo makers are trying to charge so much for these rounds. They sound like Cor-Bon with the S&W500. I think they are a rip-off. JMHO   :evil:

love the idea also, but then again the price certainly is a bit high!

If you get enough shares in the company with that box of shells the price might not be bad

I like the idea and I hope to see one JDJ cal. a year..   Yes a little high in price but this opens doors for me to start shooting wildcats ..I don't see myself being an active reloader for at least another 10years too much going on kids,job,wife ,life ..And I have 20 + barrels now and plan to get alot more in the next ten years.  I have barrels I shoot for fun and that are cheep to shoot and I have barrels that I only use for hunting,, pick up a month befor the season starts to make sure still scoped-in The jdj's are good hunting barrels so might not get much use ..but for now I will be able to shoot them and in ten years when I have 40+ barrels I can see what ones I will put my time into reloading...
Why get a custom barrel and kill it's ability with a bad reload..Just don't have the time and want to still shoot them
