Got an email from my bud at Winchester/Olin today. 243 WSSM ammo and brass is currently in the production process, soon to be followed by the 25 WSSM and then 223 WSSM. Watch the on-line sellers, as the big retail and wholesale buyers will be first in line.
WOW--- Keep me updated- My bro-n-law is in DIRE need of ammo nd or brass
James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
Those idjits stopped making all kinds of good brass years ago, including the 300 H&H, 375 H&H, etc and it's impossible to find 348 or 300 Savage.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
Maybe Winchester/Olin feels some obligation to the 25 people who bought Browning and Winchester/USRA WSSM rifles.
I would be happier if Federal made some more WSSM brass, as I think that their's is a lot more user friendly than the Winchester/Olin brass. But, when I realized that the WSSMs were slow to take off, I bought several thousand pieces of Federal 223 and 243 WSSM brass from Graf & Son on close out.
Yeah,well how about the people that shoot 375Win & 356Win.I think a bunch of friggin idiot's are in charge over there.How about some friggin brass at least!!

Fortunately for me, I have plenty of ammo for both my 375 H&H and 356 Win. The 356 Win was #12 on the list of 22 "obsolete" styles of ammo/brass that I asked Winchester/Olin to consider making. If you have a Marlin 336 in 356 Win, you can use 358 brass, as long as you load within the shorter 356 COAL limits.
I like the guy who is in charge of Winchester/Olin's center-fire ammo/brass production. The fact that they have recently made runs of 22 Hornet, 30-40 Krag, and 44-40 ammo/brass seems like a positive sign to me. I don't need any WSSM ammo or brass, as I have lots of it on hand, but I hate to see people who need it getting screwed by the scalpers.

You really think they're idiots? With the way ammo is selling now making a run of 375 Win or 356 Win would be a loss of money for them. By the time the shut the line down, changed the dies, made the 50,000 pieces of brass and then shut the line down again they could have made 500,000 pieces of brass that they could sell faster than the 50,000 pieces of obsolete brass you want them to make. You may not like it but they're doing what anyone with a brain would do if it was their business.
