Any experience with the Jonson Family rounds from years back?

[Steve692]

Roughly 10 years back, Jonson Laboratory had the 6.5, 7.62 and 9 Jonson rounds.

The original website is defunct and while I found another with an email (which I sent for info) it seems a little "dated" and do not expect a reply.

NOT to a lot of people's liking, these are based on the 416 Rigby parent case.....with the .590 rim but are VERY close to what I have in mind for a WILDcat. (emphasis on the WILD ) 8)

Any info from anyone having, had, seen........or know of anything at all on them?

I'm finding little online except these links below.
Who knows, maybe I'll get a reply. REALLY curious as to if the "9 Jonson" is a true 9 or a 9.3 round, and case capacity.

Obviously my thoughts are for a hunting rifle, not bench.

I am aware of the "issues" a short action .590 bolt face build will bring just in case anyone is wondering.

God Bless

A very interesting read.I wonder what happened to the plan on getting the ammo or brass etc to handloaders.
