You guessed correctly, Brad. When my primer pocket uniformer won't even enter the pocket of Hornady brass, the frustration level gets raised to an unacceptable level, and into the scrap bin they go. I've had too many issues with that brass on multiple occasions to ever consider using it again.

Now if Lapua would just get on the stick.........

'Same..

Bow Shot, Biekirch's have really good pricing on 204 Winchester brass. I've been getting bags of 100 like they're packs of chewing gum. They also have the new CFE 223 powder in stock.

If anyone is interested we will have Winchester and Nosler 204 brass in stock on 1/12. We also have many more new items that will be added to our list of products next week.

What price do they have on the Winchester 204 brass?

Wirelessguy they are a little over $17 for a bag of 100 and they always have a good supply on hand.

Is the Nosler brass made by Lapua? What is your price for 100?

Almost all Nosler brass is produced by Norma in Sweden. It usually retails for somewhere around $35/50 in 204R.

I have always liked Win brass, but I noticed the last batch of 100 I bought for the 204, after the third reload I have had several have cracks in the neck.. Seems like this batch was not anneled as well as in the past.. Any one else have or seen this ? Bill K

Bill - I've got just over 3,000 rounds of 204 loaded up in prepped WW brass with almost a zero reject rate for splits. But all of this was purchased at least two years ago, so no experience on any recent batches of bulk WW stuff.

Some of the brass mentioned above has been fired up to five times....still no splits. When the first one occurs, I anneal the entire batch to avoid further loss, but so far, so good.

That's under dealer cost, i would buy a lifetime supply at that price.

as Rick noted the Nosler brass is made by Norma. We have it priced at $37 per 50 count box. For comparison purposes Midway sells it for $42.49 per 50 ct. box.

Brad, Biekirch's has excellent pricing on everything. On the rare occasions I check with places like Midway Biekirch's is always less.

Their price is excellent for sure. I would guess that they made a very large purchase a few years ago and thats how they are able to maintain that price level.
