Its been my experience that if they say backorder I've gotten it in a weeks time. The exception to this was a recent 45-70 order that took a little over 4 weeks.
Last year I ordered 38 Super+P, 41 Magnum, 222 Remington and 41 Magnum all backordered and all arrived in a week or so.

My days of loading 45-70 ammo to dangerous game stopping levels are well behind me now. The 250 45-70 brass I bought from SL should last well past me when loaded at moderate cast bullet levels. Keep them annealed, and the rim will wear out first. All kidding aside, it helps the Starline brass seal up with low-pressure loads. I've stocked enough .45-70 that I doubt I'll run out. I still load some semi-sporty loads for levers, but also shoot a Uberti reproduction Highwall a lot, using loads that are BP duplication. I also have enough .460 Rowland, .45 Super, .45 +P, and .30 Carbine to last awhile.

I used to put a lot of effort into finding spent brass. Brass catchers, putting out big tarps to shoot beside, counting found brass... Now I might wait until the lawn has been recently mowed and just grab the obvious ones. I'm a really frugal (cheap) guy. This is a big change for me

This is a big change for me Have a few areas where people shoot....public land Can usually find 1X'd brass from non reloaders Kinda like an Easter egg hunt... Along with that...trash can be a problem So along with picking up brass 'litter' Cans & other stuff needs picked up too Some people are littering slobs........

Soooo
Does anyone know what Star Line calls a "run of brass"? I am sure it is somewhat based on caliber/demand. How many thousand(s)/millions in a good run?

Tikka, if you still need some, I have 1k of polished but unprocessed range brass you can have for your new shooter. I’ll be in Ephraim/Manti this Friday.

Starline brass is good stuff and it's a good idea to stock up when it's available I use Lapua brass in my '06 rifles, but when I saw this 250 pc bag of Starline .30-06 brass in stock online at "pre-covid" pricing, I had to jump on it, even though I have several 5 gallon buckets full of range brass collected over the years

Getting married this week I’m always happy to help get a new shooter going. I’ll be sure to put a bow on the box. Brass is better than a toaster any day.

I have some backorder ship soon with them but my 358 win backorder took about 2 years. I love starline pistol brass and have used it for years. Now I've been stocking up on their rifle stuff too. I've bought decent amounts of 223, 6 arc, 6 Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 grendel, 7-08, 30-06, 350 legend, 358 win, 444, and 45/70. All have been great.

I mostly have VERY good luck placing backorders with them. It took a year to get .222 and .45 Auto rim brass though.... It has to be a good business model to be able to have most of a production run sold before you start up the line As far as I know they never raised their prices either. I think your problem was probably due to ordering unique cartridges. It sure was. So there's a caveat to tikkanut's message. They sure won't be filling my backorder for 348 Win or 445 Supermag in any days coming soon.
