Jamison International VLLC was a manufacturer of a wide variety of both custom brass cases, and obsolete or hard to find calibers. They cater to the large African game hunters, the cowboy action shooters, and specialty gun builders. While Jamison International supports the custom and obsolete firearms owners, they also produce a number of modern calibers for the hunting community and long-range bench-rest shooters.〔Jamison, Marc. Personal Interview. 10 Aug. 2009.〕 ==History== In 1996 Marc Jamison, founder of Jamison International, believed that there was a definite need for a producer of custom and obsolete cartridge cases. By November of that year he started his company, Rocky Mountain Tool and Armory (RMTA) in Huntington Beach, California. In August 2001 Jamison moved his business and machinery from California to the Black Hills in Sturgis, South Dakota. The name of the company was then changed from RMTA to Jamison International.〔"About Us" JamisonInternational.com 15 Oct. 2009 In 2003 Marc Jamison teamed with the owner of Greenwich Ballistics, 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, also known as Bell Extrusion Laboratories Limited. By late 2006, the opportunity to acquire PMC otherwise known as Eldorado Cartridge Corporation presented itself. With the purchase of this additional equipment a strong foundation was set in place.〔Dan Daly. "Sturgis ammo firm aims high." Rapid City Journal 22 Oct. 2006: F3〕 In early 2007, the first automated line was put into service to produce both the .408 Chey Tac and .375 CheyTac. The first shipment of 100,000 cases was sent out to the military by late 2007. This was the first time these cartridges were being manufactured in the United States. On October 17, 2011, Jamison International announced that they were shutting down their plant and web site effective October 19, 2011, at 4:30 PM MST. On September 10, 2012, it was announced that Jamison International would be reopened as a division of Captech International while also moving to a new 31,000 square foot facility in Rapid City, SD.〔Brass-maker Jamison Int’l Revived as Division of Captech Int’l 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jamison International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
