Bertram used to have a strong reputation as being very
brittle and thus had a short life. It seemed to have a different alloy as well and that might have contributed to the problem. I have some of the late stuff that is .45-75 WCF which seems ok. I also got, finally, some of the Jamison .45-75. It looks good but I haven't loaded or shot any of it yet.
Don't know what you want it for. IME, which cartridge can also make a difference.
