Brass-maker Jamison Int’l Revived as Division of Captech Int’l
Founded by Marc Jamison, Jamison International built its reputation as a producer of unique, obsolete, and hard-to-find brass cartridge cases, including military, hunting, and African game calibers. Unfortunately, Jamison Int’l halted production 9 months ago. However, here is good news for shooters — Jamison’s machines are running again….
Jamison International has been “reconstituted” as a Division of Captech International. Jamison Int’l, now part of Captech, has moved its operations from Sturgis, SD to a new, 31,000 square-foot facility in Rapid City, SD. The new facility also offers ample room for expansion and machine refurbishment to reduce the cycle-time between production runs of Jamison’s cartridge cases. Marc Jamison will continue to oversee cartridge brass production operations to ensure quality standards.
Captech is now accepting orders on all of the previously Jamison-produced calibers as well as Jamison’s basic brass line for forming. “Many unique cases are currently available in stock and more are in production each week”, said a company spokesperson.

History of Jamison International
In the late 1990s Marc Jamison decided the gun industry needed a producer of custom and obsolete cartridge brass. So in 1996 Marc founded Rocky Mountain Tool and Armory (RMTA) in Huntington Beach, California. In 2001 Jamison moved the business and machinery from California to Sturgis, South Dakota. The name of the company was then changed from RMTA to Jamison International. In 2003 Marc Jamison teamed up with Corey Kupersmith, who had recently acquired Cheyenne Tactical (CheyTac USA). This new partnership was called Jamison International VLLC. Together they purchased the assets of Bell Brass (aka Bell Extrusion Laboratories Ltd.) and then acquired equipment from PMC (aka Eldorado Cartridge Corporation). In its heydey, Jamison Int’l produced a wide variety of cartridge brass, as well as CheyTac ammunition, and lathe-turned .375 and .408 bullets.
PLease venture out into high quality AMERICAN brass for ALL the usuals!!!
Start with 300 win mag.
agn Jett:
They are based and produce their product in South Dakota (USA). American enough?
As for what’s coming (see their Resources page and click “Retail” to view their pricelist. Then, at the very bottom:
“Coming Soon
.223 Win Super Short Magnum
.25 Win Super Short Magnum
.220 Winchester Short Magnum
.300 Rem Short-Action Ultra Mag
.300 Winchester Short Magnum
7mm Rem Short-Action Ultra Mag
7mm Winchester Short Magnum
7mm Shooting Times Westerner
7mm Remington Ultra Magnum”
Apparently they are not (at least for the moment) going to be producing 300 Win Mag. That noted, neither Remington nor Winchester produce 338 Excalibur, 338 LM, 338 NM, 375 CT, or 408 CT – nor any of the ton of the older, unique, and semi-rare cartridge cases they have been known for for many years.
Possibly I just missed your point. The article is quite clear about the company’s product focus.
I just received (9/12 AM) an e-mail from Captech, responding to my inquiries regarding availability and other products.
“1. The CT brass should be available in 60 days.
2. We will have ammo also but we are still working on development but our goal is 60 days also.
3. The turned projectiles will be 90 days.”
They added in response to my inquiry about quality, “our brass is typically a 2 to 1 ratio on the reloads as compared to other brands of the same caliber.”
FYI, the headstamp will remain “Jamison”.
