Anyone else having hard time finding brass

[Rooster52]

I finally found some 7MM WSN brass after looking for a month.Most stores shelves are near empty.
Some places are asking 3 times what the stuff should sell for.
I saw on bag of 50 Winchester 7MM WSM brass bring $77 plus shipping on an online auction

Uhg, I hear you. I've been looking for 257Wby brass for the last few months. From 2008 till then I never had a problem finding it locally. Even loaded 257 ammo is absent from the shelves lately.

Powder, primer, brass, its all hard to find now. My local sporting place gets their shipments on Wednesdays, one trip on a Wednesday evening will tell you what the problem is. A bunch of white haired bunker dwellers buying everything they can get their hands on. One guy with a stack of 22LR told me he thinks it will be used as currency when society folds. Good grief...until that stops it wont get any better.

Keep an eye on shooters pro shop!! Their site is a little tough to navigate but they have some stuff. You can also use gunbot. Sometimes its just as cost effective to buy loaded ammo seconds or over run from shooters pro shop and fire them in your gun to get get once fired brass that matches your chamber. At the cost of some brass and then load it up with a bullet thats close to a buck a pc plus powder its not cheap. Top that of with finding bullets and powder I will keep what I have for ladder tests and finished rounds. Shooters pro shop had Nosler 7 mag loaded with 160 AB for $34.00 plus $12 flate rate shipping. Order 4 boxes and it's $37.00 a box. Your gun may even love the stuff . I just used some of this kind of brass over the weekend to do some ladder tests. It was nice brass and you could see the mark on the necks from being annealed. It was way better than some of the Federal brass I had. Good luck and keep looking

I bought 400 partition bullets for $19 per 50 and 400 150 Ballistic tip for $16 per 50 plus $12 shipping from Nosler Pro Shop as over run stock.

I also bought 3 box;s of Winchester loaded ammo in 7WSM from Cabela's . I will probably pull the bullets and reload them,or I may shoot some of them.Kind of expesive way to get brass,but when you need brass it is an option.

Though I've not done it, I've read of more than one person making 257 Wby brass from 264 Win Mag and/or 7mm Rem Mag. Neck down and fireform puts you in business. Just something to consider.
