300 WM brass outlawed?

[NCHillbilly]

What the hell is going on with 300 win mag brass? Has new production been outlawed? I've been looking at all my usual (and some unusual) reloading component suppliers, and nobody seems to have any in stock. Not even the rumored "shitty" brass is available. WTF? I don't want it all, but would like some.

In stock. Made by ADG. They have once fired as well.

300WM may be coming back in style

 

[NCHillbilly]

I certainly hope so. I just purchased a rifle so I could do some long-range plinkin, but I also enjoy handloading. It certainly would suck to not be able to get components.

I looked at their site. They had prvi partisan, which I have never used. They also showed some winchester, but not the bag they come in. I only mention the bag because I've heard the newer stuff in the red and black bag SUCKS. Very poor QC.

Midway has Winchester headstamp in stock for the past month.

I just bought two bags of Winchester 300 mag brass at Sportsmans Warehouse.

What kind of shape was that stuff in. I've been reading some bad things about new production winchester brass. wrinkled shoulders, neck splits, etc.

Put up a want to buy post in the reloading PX section. I got a couple hundred pieces of RP 7mm RemMag brass that way. I'm sure someone has some 1-2x fired 300wm brass they want to exchange for cash.

Midsouth has 300wm brass click here.

One of the other members has already pm'd me regarding some once-fired stuff. Thanks to all for the helpful info. Gotta make sure the shelves are stocked before the election, or heaven forbid, the next mass shooting. Shit disappears overnight, ya know.

I just picked up some of the Gunwerks stuff posted above. It is very good so far. Very consistent. I was using Winchester before.

They all looked fine. I found no split necks or wrinkled shoulders. I bought 2 bags of 50. Just ran them through a neck mandrel to round out the necks and then chamfered and deburred them . Loading them up for some hunting ammo in a Tikka T3X Lite. That will work for me.

Thanks for the info. I may have heard from that individual that got the odd, bad batch. I'll give ww another look.

I just bought two bags of Winchester and the QC is bad... I haven't opened the second bag but the first had 10% with nearly split necks. I was wtf, are they trying to sabotage me. Here are some pictures that reflect the mouth condition along with some defects

 

[magtech]

I opened/inspected the second bag and I only had to quell 2 pieces due to deformities. The mouths were still atrocious, but at least these are somewhat safer.

 

[DIBBS]

I culled about 25% yes thats correct of the red black bag winchester 300 WM. Visible creases/deformities in shoulder and neck. I have been VERY happy with the ADG brass I purchased as a replacement. Extremely consistent.

 

[FLIGHT762]

I re-checked all 100 cases and found one case that had a neck wrinkle as shown in magtec's first photo. All other cases were fine. Case weights were within 3 grains.

This may seem like a dumb question, but was the bag blue and white, or red and black?

Red & Black. I looked for any lot # I D markings, there were none.

Norma brass has been hard to find at the moment. Just keep on looking for it

 

[magtech]

Mine were red/ black bags. I'm contemplating buying a bunch of adg to swap out my norma. But who knows
