Lee E. Jurras (July 27, 1934 – April 24, 2017) was an American firearm cartridge designer, known for creation of the line of cartridges, and groundbreaking developments in hollow-point ammunition. Jurras began handloading cartridges for profit at age 12 and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve at age 17. In the late 1950s, he experimented with lathing rifle bullets to create jacketed handgun ammunition, inspired by Jim Harvey. Jurras continued his efforts in cartridge development, using as his base the powerful AutoMag pistol, and later the Thompson Center Arms Contender pistol.

| - Lee E. Jurras (July 27, 1934 – April 24, 2017) was an American firearm cartridge designer, known for creation of the line of cartridges, and groundbreaking developments in hollow-point ammunition. Jurras began handloading cartridges for profit at age 12 and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve at age 17. In the late 1950s, he experimented with lathing rifle bullets to create jacketed handgun ammunition, inspired by Jim Harvey. In 1963, Jurras founded Super Vel ammunition company in Shelbyville, Indiana. Jurras' ammo utilized lightweight bullets pushed at high velocities to cause bullet expansion, but at low enough pressure for typical firearms. The Super Vel line was a success, selling massive amounts of hollow-point ammunition to law enforcement and civilian buyers. However, the rapid growth of the company and its reliance on outsourcing of cartridge cases left it vulnerable. It was overtaken by competitors and closed its doors in 1974. Jurras continued his efforts in cartridge development, using as his base the powerful AutoMag pistol, and later the Thompson Center Arms Contender pistol. Jurras co-authored several books on firearms with George C. Nonte. Jurras died April 24, 2017. (en)

No final dos anos 1950, ele experimentou balas de rifle torneadas para criar munição de arma de mão jaquetada, inspirado por Jim Harvey. Em 1963, Jurras fundou a empresa de munições Super Vel em Shelbyville, Indiana. A munição de Jurras utilizava balas leves impulsionadas em alta velocidade para causar sua expansão, mas com pressão baixa o suficiente para armas de fogo típicas. A linha "Super Vel" foi um sucesso, vendendo grandes quantidades de munição de ponta oca para policiais e compradores civis. No entanto, o rápido crescimento da empresa e sua dependência da terceirização de estojos de cartuchos a deixaram vulnerável. Foi ultrapassada por concorrentes e fechou suas portas em 1974. Jurras continuou seus esforços no desenvolvimento de cartuchos, usando como base a poderosa pistola AutoMag, e mais tarde a pistola conhecida como Thompson/Center Contender da Thompson/Center Arms. Jurras foi coautor de vários livros sobre armas de fogo com George C. Nonte. Jurras morreu em 24 de abril de 2017. (pt)
