When does Winchester make 284 brass?

[turbo54]

The 284 brass is a "seasonal" thing. I know, so no one needs to educate me on how Winchester conducts business, that they only run off some of this brass every now and again. I get that part.

I'm just wondering if anyone has noticed there is a certain month/time of year that Winchester gets around to making these?

Maybe someone even works for Winnie and knows when it's on the schedule?

Luckily, I'm "ok" on 284, but am always keeping my eye out for more. I've ABSOLUTELY noticed it has been drying up over the last full year. Are we getting close to a new run?

I'm hoping there is a new run soon, I just put together a 284 and would like some straight 284 brass to run through it.

best bet is to hit the "notify me" from midway - even if you do not buy from them that is when everyone will have it

Why don't you call Winchester, they will put you in touch with their ammo plant, they'll tell you.
I called Remington's plant a week and a half ago to get info I needed, painless.

Cabela's up the road had a ton in stock on the floor, if anyone needs some and can't find it online PM me. I'd be happy to help, I go up there once a week.

Anyone have a phone number to call? I scoured Winchester/Olin websites and came up dry.

I'm noticing 284 brass is selling for way over retail the last 3-4 months.
