High Velocity Cartridge History

Randy discusses some of the history of the high velocity cartridges, many still in great use today, many of which paved the way for the spin off cartridges of today. Randy has even developed some of his own high velocity cartridges. Unfortunately, there are not any brass manufacturers any more that do small runs, so they aren’t available to the general public.
Names that are big in the history of high velocity cartridges: P O Ackley, Art Mashburn, Powell & Miller, Roy Weatherby, Fred Barnes, Howard Johnson, John Nosler, Sr., Charlie Durham and Vern Juenke of the Saturn line of cartridges to name a few.
