I can not find any either. Midway had the winchester brass as "mixed availability" clicked on 500 round lot and it says discountinued and they are out of the 100 round lots. I'm glad I ordered 500 rounds from cabelas just before Christmas.

hopefully, everything will eventually return to normal, or at least close to normal. at our last local gunshow, a little reloading stuff reappeared.

good luck!

I found one bag of Win brass at my local supplier back in December. I haven't used it yet but I do take it out and look at it sometimes.

I "just" sold 100 primed Hornady .204 Ruger cases for $25.00 shipped. Never got a "Got them, Thank You" from the guy. Should have kept them for someone that would have appreciated them more. ;)

Tons of "Brass" out there. Unfortunately, the majority of it is in Washington DC and of very low quality. Very little of it has ever been fired, although almost all of it SHOULD be!!!

I ordered some from Midsouth last night. Everything was backordered but I wanted to get on the "list" before the price went sky high like it has at my local shops. 1,000 cases of Remington.

You did not look hard enough, @ 38$ per 100 it's a deal. Now don't hog it all!

These days you need to be able to "Track a swarm of bees in a snowstorm" lol

how many shots are you guys getting out of hornady brass? it is the only thing that has been available, since i got my 204. i have been carefully checking them with a bent paperclip after every shot, and some of them are getting a "groove" in them after only 2 or 3 times. i thought i was rolling after 2 loads, as it was starting to shoot some tiny groups, but yesterday, i threw 5 cases away.

I had 50 Hornady cases that went 7 firings, I annealed after 6. They never got weary, and I sold them (to a knowing buyer...) after the 7x
