The NEVINS Cartridge Company was in business for the first half of the 1980s, roughly, and folded in the second half of that decade when they packed up and moved to California. They were located at 7614 Lemhi, Suite 1, Boise, Idaho 83709.
Their product line includes Cased ead bullets in 38/357, 9mm, .45 and .44 Magnum, new unprimed empty cases, NEVIN headstamp, in .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 9 MM and .45 ACP, and loaded ammunition in those four calibers as well. The also sold remanufactured (reloaded) ammunition in .38 Special, have two loads in that line. In their normal line of new ammunition, Terry had his own headstamp in all four calibers. There were five .38 Special loads, one of which was rated +P. I don't know if he had a NEVINS .38 Special +P headstamp or not. There were three loads in .357 Magnum, three in 9 MM Luger and three in .45 ACP.
The print of the headstamps and the red primer seal look to me like Winchester provided the brass, but I am not sure of that. They printed at least one little catalog, one sheet folded over to make a four page brochure.
Aside from the loads, which are a normal run of bullet weights and styles for the calibers produced, their boxes were in Black and Gold as the basic colors
...
Terry and his wife Alyssa recently decided to pack up and leave California and move back here to the Boise area, which I was happy to hear, because after I recuperate from my upcoming surgery and get back on my feet I was looking forward to meeting them, buying some ammo from Terry and talking to him about getting a small starter reloading setup going and learning a little and / or a lot from the master himself. Unfortunately Alyssa Nevins reached out to me this morning to let me know that Terry passed away yesterday, probably due to complications from cancer he had been fighting recently. Vio con Dios' Terry, rest in peace .
