Midway has Hornady 204 brass in stock. It's my least favorite but I ordered 100 anyway. I'm kind of stuck until my engineering student son builds me an annealing turntable. I'm starting to get vertical stringing using my old brass, which I was told is a sign that it needs to be either annealed or tossed.

I feel for ya, Tokimini. Will be interesting to see if it is any better than the brass on their factory loads that so many of us have wrestled with.

yup, I walways wondered if their boxed stuff was a bit better... but I bet that re-barreled remmy will shoot anything just fine!!

It's a tack driver Bow. Now if only I can find enough primers to make it through the season I'll be a happy man!

I just found some Remington brass when I was in the city, so I snapped them up. I was surprised when I found a Redding neck sizer die in stock. I have lots of Hornady brass with several firings and have had no issues with it yet.
