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. Maybe that's why they discontinued 220 Swift.

Was the 270 WSM on your list? No way I will pay $3 per case for Nosler brass or $2+ for Norma. I got tired of waiting around for Winchester to produce some, so I picked up 500 primed Federal nickel cases that had the bullets pulled. They work fine, and came out to around $.42 per case delivered including primers. Maybe Hornady or Prvi Partizan will consider tooling up for it since Winchester and Remington seem to have lost interest.

No WSMs on my list since you have easily make 7mm and 270 WSM from 300 WSM brass.

Got a note from Midway last week saying Winchester has discontinued it all together. I hope it is not.

That is great news !
I just bought 420 cases here on the fire a few weeks ago for my Bro-n-law.
I'm sure that he'll be buying more when this stuff his the market.
Sweet little round for his daughter to use on white tail.

They can run wssm brass, but hells bells if I can find 300wsm brass reasonable.

I understand that 243 WSSM ammo has been shipped to wholesalers, but I don't know about 243 WSSM component brass.

More reasons to like the boring chamberings OTOH, while shelves were bare of stuff like 308 Winchester, 7 Rem Mag, and 223 ammo, there were (and still are) the same boxes of 225 Winchester ammo sitting there. You need to choose which obsolete stuff you want. Heck, 20 years ago the 22 Hornet and 218 Bee were pretty much in company with the 225.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

judging the looks of GB auctions I would say that 243 wssm is "in the marketplace"
still sellers are hoping for the uninformed or uber wealthy
$245 for 40 rounds
$874 for 200 rounds
