Has Remington and Winchester opted to get out of the business of offering brass for the reloading market? Seems Winchester and Remington have turned over brass production to Hornady, Lapua, Nosler & Privi. Yet there Is a little ammo to be found. Why very little or no brass?

17 fireball and 22 hornet are two offerings I have been watching for a long time now with nothing to be seen except a little factory ammo. I've been hoping commodity prices lowering just might encourage Remington in Winchester to get back into the supply business for those who prefer to roll their own.

Did give in and picked up a few factory 17 FB ammo recently. Must say that 17 FB 25 gr HP ammo is shooting quite well.
