.300 Jarrett

[Nature Boy]

Any of you guys shoot this unusual cartridge?

I found 8 once fired cases at the range that I'd be glad to send to you......with a sympathy card for your shoulder injury



I'd never heard of it before so I did some research. Very interesting. They only place to get the ammo is from the guy that makes the rifles, unless you reload

From what I read, it pushes 30 cal bullets over 3,000 FPS with a barrel life of ~1,000 rounds

Well, that ensures a constant stream of work for barrel replacements.

I was intrigued by this round when i was in highschool, read quite a few articles on Kenny Jarretts Beanfield rifles.
Always kinda wanted a full length 300, till I re-chambered my old 7mm to STW....scratched that itch....

I can't spend more on a rifle than I did on my last car, so I have no use for them, but thank you for recognizing them and realizing they might be very precious to someone who actually has one of the rifles.

That is a stout cartridge considering its like the 300 Rem Ultra Mag. or 300 Weatherby Mag.

I can't believe anyone who shoots a custom cartridge like that would leave the brass behind. I'm betting when junior got home dad blasted him for not bringing the brass home lol...
